ASBESTOS TEXTURED COATINGS
You may need one confirmed asbestos Artex ceiling removed before a room is replastered, or several ceilings and walls cleared as part of a larger renovation.
We also take enquiries where textured coating must come out before rewiring, a new ceiling, partition changes, strip-out or other building work can continue.
Tell us what you need to do after the asbestos work. That helps us understand whether the coating alone is involved or whether coated plasterboard or another underlying surface may also need to come out.
If the property is occupied, rented or used by staff, tell us. Access, other people in the building and the timing of follow-on trades can all be discussed before the work is agreed.

Confirmed or suspected asbestos textured coatings that are holding up rewiring, ceiling replacement, strip-out, plastering or other refurbishment work. Tell us what trade is waiting and when the next stage needs to start.
Textured coatings in shops, offices, managed properties and larger refurbishment projects where survey information, access, occupants, working hours and follow-on trades can affect how the work needs to be planned.
WHERE ARE YOU STARTING FROM?
Send the relevant result and tell us which ceilings or walls need removing, roughly how much is affected and what you need to happen afterwards.
If textured coatings have been identified during a property purchase or before refurbishment, tell us which rooms are affected and when you need the asbestos work dealt with.

You can still contact us. Tell us where the textured coating is and what you plan to do with it. We can explain whether testing is needed before removal.

Call us and we will explain what applies to your job.

ASBESTOS ARTEX REMOVAL FAQ
No. Artex is a trade name, and a textured finish does not establish that asbestos is present. Pattern, colour and photographs cannot confirm the contents of the coating.
If a survey or sample has already identified asbestos, send the relevant finding. If you do not know and the planned work would disturb the surface, we can discuss asbestos sampling or a refurbishment survey. You can enquire before confirmation; the evidence needed to finalise the work depends on the property and proposed scope.
Start with the postcode, the rooms involved and what you want to do afterwards. Say whether it is a ceiling, a wall or both, and whether asbestos has been confirmed.
Rough dimensions, safe photographs and an existing report can help us understand the work. You do not need every detail before contacting us. Mention occupied rooms, upstairs access and any waiting electrician or plasterer, because the quote needs to address the real project rather than ceiling area alone.
Yes. Enquiries can cover one defined surface, several rooms or a wider refurbishment. Identify the rooms and any different finishes rather than assuming one sample result automatically describes every surface in the building.
The asbestos Artex removal page for Ilford explains room-by-room scope and shared access. Tell us if only some rooms can be made available at a time so any sequencing can be assessed before dates are agreed.
The quotation should state the agreed extent. The surface beneath the coating, its condition and the intended refurbishment affect whether the work concerns the coating alone or a coated section that also needs to come out.
Tell us whether the ceiling is being retained, replaced or opened for another trade. Do not assume that asbestos textured coating removal includes new plasterboard, electrical work or decoration; those responsibilities and the expected handover should be settled before work begins.
It can be assessed, but occupancy arrangements need to suit the particular work. Tell us which rooms are used, whether there is shared access and whether residents, tenants or staff need to pass nearby.
A landlord may also need to coordinate access with the occupier or building manager. We do not promise that people can remain beside the work or that every property can be handled room by room. Those arrangements should be clear before a start date is agreed.
Not every asbestos textured coating removal task is licensable. The confirmed material, condition and method of work affect the applicable controls and whether notification is required.
It is also important to establish what is beneath or next to the coating: a different asbestos-containing substrate can change the job. If a report also identifies insulating board, our asbestos AIB removal service addresses that separate material. You do not need to classify the work before asking for help.
Sometimes keeping a sound material in place and managing it is an option, but it must fit the condition of the surface and the work proposed. Skimming or overboarding should not be treated as permission to drill, sand or otherwise disturb an unassessed coating.
If you want asbestos Artex removal before refurbishment, explain why the ceiling or wall needs changing. We can discuss that scope without assuming either removal or covering is right for every property.
The area, ceiling height, surface condition, access, number of rooms and agreed extent all affect the quotation. A coating-only scope and a project involving ceiling sections are not automatically comparable quotes.
Check what is included in preparation, the asbestos work, waste handling and handover, and what later finishing remains with another contractor. Tell us what you already know; there is no need to calculate every square metre before you contact us.
A timescale needs the actual scope and access arrangements. Room count alone cannot establish it: surface condition, working height, occupancy and the required cleaning and checks also affect planning.
Tell us which trade is waiting and your target date. We can discuss what needs confirming before timing is agreed. Avoid booking plasterers or decorators on an assumed completion time, especially where several rooms or different surfaces are involved.
Agree which surfaces will be dealt with, what is excluded, the completion checks and the condition the next contractor expects to receive. The affected area should not be disturbed by following trades before the agreed asbestos work and applicable checks are complete.
Removal does not automatically include levelling, reboarding, plastering or decoration. If you also have confirmed asbestos in the floor, discuss asbestos floor tile removal and asbestos bitumen adhesive removal as a separate scope within the wider project.
