Artex removal for Eastling properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Eastling, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Whether it’s ceilings coming down and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we deal with coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
In areas like Eastling, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Where asbestos turns up
Many trades want a test result first.
These are some of the things we deal with in Eastling:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings before plastering
- Damaged or cracked coatings
If your home is one of the older properties in Eastling, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Materials, one by one
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
Weighing up your options
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is usually best. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Test every different coating
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
What to avoid
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

Common questions in Eastling
Do you cover Eastling from London?
Eastling is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Eastling contain asbestos?
If your home in Eastling was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
