Artex removal in Coldwaltham
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. From flaking textured ceilings and ceilings before plastering, we deal with stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and textured walls and more.
Village homes like those in Coldwaltham have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Coldwaltham: your questions answered
Do older homes in Coldwaltham have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Coldwaltham may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Pulborough station?
Yes. Pulborough station is about 1.8 miles north-east of Coldwaltham, and we cover both.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
