Our artex removal in DA7
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. We often deal with swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes, and people normally contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and rented flats before redecoration.
At the end, the room is cleaned and checked before the seals come down.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We sample each coating
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
Cost
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Where we remove Artex in DA7
Across DA7, renovations often uncover textured coatings, in towns and villages alike.
Bexleyheath: A school like Upland Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start. In older homes in Bexleyheath, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
What it might be made of
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
How we price Artex removal
Prices vary with:
- How much waste there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- How easy it is to reach
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

For businesses and landlords in DA7
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in DA7, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Common questions in DA7
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
How much does Artex removal cost in DA7?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
- 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
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
