How artex removal works in Hadlow
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. We often deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and people normally contact us about coatings scraped during DIY and ceilings before skimming.
Village homes like those in Hadlow have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
After the job
File the result and the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Photos help us quote
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep pets out of the work area
What to avoid
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Which option is right?
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

What it costs
The cost depends on:
- How much there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Street parking nearby
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An overall view
- The access route
