Artex removal for Ware properties
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Common materials are textured walls, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by leaks and coatings damaged by DIY.
Village homes like those in Ware have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Helpful guides
What we deal with in Ware
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
For rented flats close to Minster station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

After we have finished in Ware
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Plan around the closed rooms
Things not to do
Test before the builders arrive.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Which option is right?
Testing first can save a lot: a clear result means normal methods. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Accredited laboratory results

Before you book, note that:

Ware: your questions answered
How far is Ware from London?
Ware is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Ware and the area around Minster station?
Yes, we cover Ware and the area towards Minster station, about 2.9 miles north-east.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
How much does Artex removal cost in Ware?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
