About artex removal in GU31
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical jobs include coatings already disturbed and ceilings before downlights go in, including stipple finishes, textured walls and swirl patterns.
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork

How we price Artex removal
Quotes vary because of:
- Travel and parking
- Disposal costs
- What the material is and its state
- How many samples are needed
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The access route
- The parking area
- A clear close-up
- An overall view
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Choosing the right option
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Any exclusions
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If your business premises in GU31 were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Test every different coating
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
Test before the builders arrive.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
