Does all Artex contain asbestos?
No. Artex is a trade name, and not every textured coating contains asbestos. If you already know it contains asbestos, call us about removal. If you do not know and the coating will be disturbed, a sample may be needed.
What information do you need to quote for asbestos Artex removal?
Tell us the property location, how many ceilings or walls are involved, their approximate size, the access and what work you are planning afterwards. Photos and an existing report or sample result are useful if you have them, but you can contact us without paperwork.
Can you remove one asbestos Artex ceiling or several rooms?
Yes. We take enquiries for one ceiling or wall, several rooms and larger property-wide work. Tell us the full scope so the quote and timing can be planned around the job you need to complete.
Will you remove only the textured coating or the plasterboard as well?
That depends on the surface beneath the coating, its condition and the agreed scope. Tell us what finish or building work is planned afterwards so we can discuss whether the coating alone or a coated section also needs to come out.
Can asbestos Artex removal be planned in an occupied or rented property?
Yes, depending on the job and the areas involved. Tell us whether residents, tenants, staff or other trades are using the building so access, timing and the work area can be considered before anything is agreed.
Does asbestos Artex removal need a licensed contractor?
Not every asbestos textured-coating job needs an HSE-licensed contractor. It depends on the coating, what is beneath it and how the surface will be removed. Call us and we will explain what applies to your job.
Can I plaster, skim or overboard an asbestos Artex ceiling?
Sometimes a sound coating can be left in place and covered, but that is not right for every ceiling or renovation. If you want the asbestos coating removed before plastering or overboarding, call us and talk through the room.
How much does asbestos Artex removal cost in London?
The price depends on how many rooms need work, their size, ceiling height, access, condition and the asbestos removal method. Call us to talk through the job and get a quote.
How long does asbestos Artex ceiling removal take?
A small, straightforward room may be completed quickly. Several rooms, difficult access or damaged coating will take longer. Call us and explain the job so we can give you a realistic timescale.
What happens before plasterers or other trades continue?
We explain the handover requirements for the agreed asbestos work. Do not let other trades disturb the area until the removal, cleaning and any checks required for that job have been completed.
