About our artex removal in Long Sutton
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Long Sutton. From ceilings before plastering and flaking textured ceilings, we cover coated plasterboard, textured walls and swirl patterns.
Rural homes near Long Sutton have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What we deal with in Long Sutton
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings before skimming
- Landlord refurbishments
In older homes in Long Sutton, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

Things not to do
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Duty holders and landlords in Long Sutton
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
