Artex removal for Way
Artex removal for Way 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. Whether it’s ceilings before plastering and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we cover Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns and more.
Village homes like those in Way have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Choosing the right option

Materials, one by one
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Textured ceilings in Way
Way is about 3 miles west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Way is within our Kent area, whatever the size of the job. Way is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
For rented flats close to Minster station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies. A school like Minster Church of England Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start. Way is within about 4 miles of the coast, though indoor coating work goes ahead whatever the weather.

Prices and what affects them
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How easy it is to reach
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Disposal costs
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Questions from Way
Is the Artex in my Way home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How far is Way from London?
We cover Way, about 62 miles from central London.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise for each room.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
