About our artex removal in Easington
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. We often deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are rented homes refurbished between tenants and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
Rural homes near Easington have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

For businesses and landlords in Easington
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Common questions in Easington
How far is Easington from London?
We cover Easington, about 44 miles from central London.
Do textured ceilings in Easington homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Material and condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
