Artex removal for Crawley properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical materials include coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and textured walls, and typical jobs are walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and landlord refurbishments.
Rural homes near Crawley have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

What’s in and what’s out:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Artex ceilings
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
Choosing the right option
A test before removal can save money: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.

Your questions about Artex removal in Crawley
Is the Artex in my Crawley home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Crawley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is my textured ceiling in Crawley asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
How much does Artex removal cost in Crawley?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
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 I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
The process
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- The coating is removed with controls
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork

- Find any old asbestos reports
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Crawley
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
Typical jobs in Crawley include:
