Artex removal cost in R1
Artex removal costs in R1 vary from £150 (Bespoke Builders Beckenham based in BR3) to £595 (Bromley handyman based in BR2). The final cost of the job will depend on whether the Artex contains asbestos - if it does, you will need to have it disposed of by a licensed asbestos removal company.
If your R1 home contains asbestos Artex, it's often best to plasterboard or skim over it as this encapsulates the fibres and stops them from being released in the air. It's also much cheaper than chemical removal.
Comparing plasterers estimates to plasterboard or skim over Artex is a good way to get an idea of costs, but the best way to get an accurate price for your job is to get real quotes.
