Helpful guides
How artex removal works in West Drayton
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. People often contact us about extensions that cut into ceilings and rented homes refurbished between tenants, including Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses.
Ceilings in West Drayton conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Questions from West Drayton
Do you cover West Drayton and the area around West Drayton station?
Yes, we cover West Drayton and the area towards West Drayton station, about 0.5 miles north-west.
Do older homes in West Drayton have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
How much does Artex removal cost in West Drayton?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Do you work in West Drayton?
Yes, we do: our area includes West Drayton and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
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 will advise on the next step.
Which option is right?
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
These are some of the things we deal with in West Drayton:
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Coatings already disturbed
Non-domestic buildings like West Drayton Academy should already have records of any textured coatings.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get
- Which areas and materials are covered
- VAT, clearly stated
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The survey scope
- The quantity or area
- Access to the area
- How much waste there is
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- A rough size or measurement
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Street parking nearby
- Visible markings
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
