Artex removal for Lamberhurst Quarter properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Lamberhurst Quarter, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical materials include coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are textured walls before a refit and structural work through coated ceilings.
In a village like Lamberhurst Quarter, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

FAQs for Lamberhurst Quarter
Do you cover small places like Lamberhurst Quarter?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
How much does Artex removal cost in Lamberhurst Quarter?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Prices and what affects them
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- The survey scope
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Material and condition
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- Labels, if any
- Where we could park
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form to get started.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Materials we deal with
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
After we’ve finished in Lamberhurst Quarter
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Send photos of the coatings
- Empty the rooms in advance
- File the test result and waste note
What to avoid
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
