Artex removal in Crumbles
About our artex removal in Crumbles
If your renovation in Crumbles involves textured ceilings, test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are coatings in the way of electrical work and walls before tiling.
Rural homes near Crumbles have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Duty holders and landlords in Crumbles
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Step by step
We bag and label the waste as we work, for disposal at a permitted site. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Before we arrive
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Choosing the right option
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Crumbles questions
How far is Crumbles from London?
We cover Crumbles, about 52 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Crumbles?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How much does Artex removal cost in Crumbles?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What we deal with in Crumbles
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Damaged or cracked coatings
For rented flats close to Pevensey & Westham station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Which areas and materials are covered
What it might be made of
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
What happens next
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
Once we’re done:
- Give us room sizes
- Plan around the closed rooms
- File the test result and waste note
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Don’ts
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- How much waste there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The survey scope
- What the material is and its state
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A clear close-up
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A rough size or measurement
