Our artex removal in UB2
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Typical materials include coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes, and people normally contact us about coatings already disturbed and rented flats before redecoration.
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly 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
- The coating is removed with controls
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork

FAQs for UB2
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
