Artex removal for Eastergate
How artex removal works in Eastergate
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across Eastergate. Typical materials include textured walls, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are coatings scraped during DIY and landlord refurbishments.
Rural homes near Eastergate have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Afterwards
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Photos help us quote
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Plan around the closed rooms
Don’ts
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
FAQs for Eastergate
Do you work near Barnham station?
Yes, we cover Eastergate and the area towards Barnham station, about 1 mile south-east.
Do you cover small places like Eastergate?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Which option is right?
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why us?
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Across London and the South East

Places near Eastergate
Typical Artex jobs in Eastergate
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Coatings already disturbed
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Structural work through coated ceilings
If your home is one of the older properties in Eastergate, near St George's Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
