How artex removal works in BH21

Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. People often contact us about landlord refurbishments and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, including swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses.

Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, then taken to a permitted site.

  1. Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
  2. Each coating is sampled and tested
  3. If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
  4. We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
  5. We clean up and send the waste paperwork

How we price Artex removal

The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:

  • Location, parking and any London charges
  • Access: height, lofts, steps and space
  • Disposal costs
  • The quantity or area

Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Sending photos

Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:

  • A closer photo of the material, without touching it
  • A wide shot showing where the material is
  • Cracks or breaks
  • An idea of size

Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

DIY and asbestos

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Your options compared

Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding. Ask about the method and the waste.

Your questions about Artex removal in BH21

What does it cost to remove Artex?

It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.

Could my home contain asbestos?

Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

Should I take the ceiling down instead?

Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll explain the options.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

When can you start?

It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Do you give written quotes?

Always: you get the scope and price in writing.

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
