Artex removal in Nutley
How artex removal works in Nutley
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Common materials are Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes, and people typically contact us about rented flats before redecoration and ceilings before downlights go in.
In places like Nutley, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Nutley questions
Do textured ceilings in Nutley homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Nutley and the area around Buxted station?
Yes, we cover Nutley and the area towards Buxted station, about 4.3 miles south-east.
Is my textured ceiling in Nutley asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise for each room.
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, which is why it’s identified before work.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
After the job
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
After we’ve finished:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep pets away
- Photos help us quote
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Don’ts
Test before the builders arrive.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Nutley
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings before plastering
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
For a school such as Nutley Church of England Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.
