Artex removal for Well Hall
Artex removal near Well Hall
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical materials include stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and textured walls, and people usually contact us about ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in towns and villages like Well Hall, often painted over many times. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Why people call us in Well Hall
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
In older properties, we often see:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings damaged by leaks
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Eltham station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Weighing up your options
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
Read how we quote and the cost guide.
Afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Each different coating needs testing
Don’ts
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

- The type of material and its condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- The parking area
- Labels, if any
- The access route
- A rough size or measurement
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
How it works
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We arrange testing
- We talk through the options
- We remove it safely if that is what you choose
- We dispose of the waste legally
How to prepare
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

Questions from Well Hall
Can you work in Well Hall with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Could my house in Well Hall contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
