How artex removal works in Loxwood
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Loxwood. Whether it’s damaged or cracked coatings and loft conversions and extensions, we deal with coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and textured walls and more.
In a village like Loxwood, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Loxwood questions
Do you cover small places like Loxwood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Loxwood from London?
We cover Loxwood, about 34 miles from central London.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
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.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
How we work
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

What else we do in Loxwood
Which option is right?
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
