About our artex removal in John's Cross
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across John's Cross. Whether it’s loft conversions and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, we cover textured walls, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes and more.

FAQs for John's Cross
Is the Artex in my John's Cross home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover John's Cross and the area around Robertsbridge station?
Yes, we cover John's Cross and the area towards Robertsbridge station, about 1.7 miles north-west.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
How to prepare
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know if something’s broken
