How artex removal works in East Sussex

For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include ceilings due for plastering or skimming and landlord refurbishments, involving Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses.

The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, with no sanding or dry scraping.

Textured ceilings across East Sussex

Across East Sussex, renovations often uncover textured coatings, in Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea and smaller places alike. The High Weald National Landscape and the South Downs National Park are within easy reach of places across East Sussex, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight. 106 of the places we cover in East Sussex are within about 6 miles of the sea, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.

Eastbourne: If your home is one of the older properties in Eastbourne, near St Andrew or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation. Non-domestic buildings like Stafford Junior School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

Duty holders and landlords in East Sussex

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Prices and what affects them

Our quotes take into account:

The survey scope
How much waste there is
Licensed or non-licensed
How easy it is to reach

A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

What to photograph

Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:

Street parking nearby
Visible markings
Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
A closer photo of the material, without touching it

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Materials, one by one

Ceiling roses and cornices

They’re included in the test if they’re coated.

Questions from East Sussex

Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?

Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.

Will I get the price in writing?

Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

What does it cost to remove Artex?

It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.

Can you quote from photos?

Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

Can you help with a shop or office?

Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.

What if the weather’s bad?

That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
