Artex removal in Roser's Cross
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. People often contact us about ceilings due for plastering or skimming and flaking textured ceilings, including coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in Roser's Cross have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Your questions about Artex removal in Roser's Cross
Do you cover Roser's Cross and the area around Buxted station?
Yes, we cover Roser's Cross and the area towards Buxted station, about 3.7 miles north-west.
How far is Roser's Cross from London?
We cover Roser's Cross, about 39 miles from central London.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
