About our artex removal in Falmer
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across Falmer. People often contact us about ceilings due for plastering or skimming and coatings already disturbed, involving stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Falmer have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

About artex removal
After the job
File the result and the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Give us room sizes
- Book your plasterer after removal

Test before the builders arrive.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Questions from Falmer
Do you cover small places like Falmer?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Falmer station?
Yes, we cover Falmer, including the streets around Falmer station.
Is my textured ceiling in Falmer asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
