Artex removal in Dormansland
Artex removal in Dormansland
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. Typical jobs include coatings scraped during DIY and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, including stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
In a village like Dormansland, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about Artex removal in Dormansland
Do you come out to small villages like Dormansland?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do textured ceilings in Dormansland homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll advise room by room.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Which option is right?
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
