About our artex removal in Waldron

We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across Waldron. Common materials are swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes, and people usually contact us about loft conversions and flaking textured ceilings.

Rural homes near Waldron have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

How do I get a quote?

Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.

Should I take the ceiling down instead?

Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.

Is Artex removal licensed work?

HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.

DIY and asbestos

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.

Prices and what affects them

The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:

Access to the area
The survey scope
Waste quantity and disposal
The category of work

Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

What to photograph

Photo tips:

A rough size or measurement
Where we could park
Damaged areas
Labels, if any

Each job is priced individually. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 to get started.

What happens

We start by sealing and protecting the room, then keep the coating wet throughout. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.
