Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Artex removal for West Molesey properties
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Whether it’s walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, we cover coated plasterboard, textured walls and swirl patterns.
In West Molesey, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Your questions about Artex removal in West Molesey
Is the Artex in my West Molesey home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work near Hampton station?
Yes. Hampton station is about 0.9 miles north of West Molesey, and we cover both.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
How much does Artex removal cost in West Molesey?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Is my textured ceiling in West Molesey asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
