Artex removal near Morton
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Morton. From damaged or cracked coatings and ceilings before downlights go in, we cover swirl patterns, stipple finishes and textured walls.
Rural homes near Morton have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Options to consider in Morton
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is usually best. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

How we price Artex removal
The cost depends on:
- The type of material and its condition
- Parking and access charges
- How easy it is to reach
- Licensed or non-licensed
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Damaged areas
- An overall view
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
FAQs for Morton
Do you cover small places like Morton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Morton and the area around Brading station?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you give written quotes?

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
