How artex removal works in Woolage Green
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Woolage Green, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and landlord refurbishments.
In a village like Woolage Green, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What else we do in Woolage Green
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
How it works
We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Getting ready
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Getting a price
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Questions from Woolage Green
Do you come out to small villages like Woolage Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Woolage Green contain 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.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Why people call us in Woolage Green
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings coming down
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Walls before tiling
For rented flats close to Snowdown station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Which option is right?
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is generally best. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

For landlords, agents and businesses
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.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Woolage Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
After the job
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
A few practical points:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Send photos of the coatings
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Give us room sizes
Don’ts
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
What it might be made of
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
