Our artex removal in GU23
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. People often contact us about ceilings before plastering and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, including coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, for disposal at a permitted site.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Roses and cornices may be coated.
What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- We need the room cleared
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
What happens next
The surface is left ready for making good.
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets away
- Test every different coating
- Empty the rooms in advance
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Common questions in GU23
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is my textured ceiling in GU23 asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
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.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
