About our artex removal in North Crawley
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in North Crawley, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and textured walls, and people normally contact us about structural work through coated ceilings and textured walls before a refit.
In a village like North Crawley, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Your questions about Artex removal in North Crawley
How far is North Crawley from London?
We cover North Crawley, about 47 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like North Crawley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Step by step
If we are taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
