How artex removal works in Cuxton
If your renovation in Cuxton involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. People often contact us about ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and ceilings before skimming, involving coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in Cuxton have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Where asbestos turns up
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
In older properties, we often see:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings before plastering
If you’re refurbishing flats near Cuxton station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Your questions about Artex removal in Cuxton
Do you cover Cuxton from London?
Cuxton is about 25 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Cuxton have asbestos?
Any home in Cuxton 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.
How much does Artex removal cost in Cuxton?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
