Artex removal for Kingston near Lewes properties
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Whether it’s ceilings coming down and walls before tiling, we deal with stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns and more.
Rural homes near Kingston near Lewes have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

For businesses and landlords in Kingston near Lewes
If your business premises in Kingston near Lewes were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Kingston near Lewes: your questions answered
Do you cover Kingston near Lewes and the area around Lewes station?
Yes. Lewes station is about 1.8 miles north-east of Kingston near Lewes, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What it costs
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- The survey scope
- The size of the job
- How easy it is to reach
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- How we’d reach it
- A rough size or measurement
- The parking area
