Weighing up your options
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is generally better.
Questions to ask before booking
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- VAT, clearly stated
- The method and controls
What affects the price in TN7
These are the main things that affect the price of Artex removal:
- Access to the area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The category of work
The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Visible markings
- The access route
- An overall view
- An idea of size
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs

These come up again and again:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights

For businesses and landlords in TN7
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Your questions about Artex removal in TN7
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
