About our artex removal in Sarre
Planning a renovation in Sarre with textured ceilings? Get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Common materials are coated plasterboard, textured walls and stipple finishes, and people generally contact us about ceilings before skimming and landlord refurbishments.
In areas like Sarre, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
After we have finished in Sarre
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Going forward:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Empty the rooms in advance
- File the test result and waste note
Things not to do
Test before the builders arrive.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Sarre, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Weighing up your options
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What you get
- Across London and the South East
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Sarre questions
How far is Sarre from London?
Sarre is about 58 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Sarre and the area around Minster station?
Yes, we cover Sarre and the area towards Minster station, about 3.5 miles east.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you cover Sarre?
We do: Sarre is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
What happens
Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, then taken to a permitted site. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We test a sample of each coating
- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove
- We remove it safely if that is what you choose
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Getting ready

- Tell us about parking and access
- Warn neighbours if needed
Getting a price
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
