How artex removal works in Wooden Hill
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. We often deal with Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and textured walls, and people typically contact us about structural work through coated ceilings and rented flats before redecoration.
In towns and villages like Wooden Hill, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

FAQs for Wooden Hill
Is the Artex in my Wooden Hill home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Wooden Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
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.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise for each room.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How we price Artex removal
We base our quote on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Material and condition
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- An overall view
- Where we could park
- An idea of size
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
To get a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep pets away
- Give us room sizes
- Photos help us quote
Don’ts
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Limits to be aware of
Before you book, note that:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
