Your questions about Artex removal in Westbourne Green
Do textured ceilings in Westbourne Green homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Westbourne Green and the area around London Paddington station?
Yes. London Paddington station is about 0.5 miles south-east of Westbourne Green, and we cover both.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
How we price Artex removal
These are the main things that affect the price of Artex removal:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- What the material is and its state
- The quantity or area
- Waste quantity and disposal
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Visible markings
- Where we could park
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form to get started.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
After we have finished in Westbourne Green
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
After we’ve finished:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Each different coating needs testing
Don’ts
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
