About our artex removal in Dallington
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and ceilings before plastering, we deal with Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes and more.
Village homes like those in Dallington have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Your questions about Artex removal in Dallington
How far is Dallington from London?
We cover Dallington, about 43 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work in Dallington?
Yes, Dallington is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Dallington
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings already disturbed
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
A school like Dallington Church of England Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

What we do and don’t cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
How it works
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, never sanded or scraped dry. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
