Artex removal in MK14: what to expect
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. People often contact us about coatings already disturbed and rented flats before redecoration, involving swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
We bag and label the waste as we work, for disposal at a permitted site.

Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Options to consider in MK14
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is normally better.

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
What it costs
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Material and condition
- Parking and access charges
- The survey scope
- Waste quantity and disposal
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- An idea of size
- How we’d reach it
- Visible markings
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

MK14: your questions answered
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How much does Artex removal cost in MK14?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
