Artex removal near Dukes Green
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Whether it’s loft conversions and coatings in the way of electrical work, we cover coated ceiling roses, textured walls and swirl patterns and more.
Rural homes near Dukes Green have often been altered over generations, 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.

Your questions about Artex removal in Dukes Green
Do you cover Dukes Green and the area around Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes, we cover Dukes Green and the area towards Berwick (Sussex) station, about 2.8 miles north.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How much does Artex removal cost in Dukes Green?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.

Can I do it myself?
