Artex removal near Littleworth
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. Common materials are coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses, and people normally contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights.
Village homes like those in Littleworth have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We only recommend work that is needed.

Weighing up your options
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Looking after things afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Once we’re done:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Photos help us quote
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Each different coating needs testing
Don’ts
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Your questions about Artex removal in Littleworth
Do you cover small places like Littleworth?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is the Artex in my Littleworth home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
