Artex removal in Burwash Weald
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. From loft conversions and extensions and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we deal with coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Burwash Weald have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Materials, one by one
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Common questions in Burwash Weald
Is asbestos common in Burwash Weald homes?
Any home in Burwash Weald built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Burwash Weald and the area around Stonegate station?
Yes, we cover Burwash Weald and the area towards Stonegate station, about 2.2 miles north.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
