Artex removal for East Studdal
How artex removal works in East Studdal
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. People often contact us about ceilings before plastering and ceilings before downlights go in, including Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
In areas like East Studdal, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- We need the room cleared
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Where asbestos turns up
Most problems come during renovation: sanding, dry scraping or drilling releases fibres.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
If your home is one of the older properties in East Studdal, near East Studdal Church Hall or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
