Artex removal for Seaford properties
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Typical jobs include rented homes refurbished between tenants and ceilings coming down, including textured walls, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
In towns like Seaford, plenty of homes from the 1960s to 1990s have textured ceilings, though older homes may have them too. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Avoid these
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

Prices and what affects them
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- How many samples are needed
- Parking and access charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- What the material is and its state
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The parking area
- A photo of the whole area
- Labels, if any
- A clear close-up
Each job is priced individually. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Questions from Seaford
Do you cover Seaford from London?
Seaford is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Seaford station?
Yes. Seaford station is about 0.5 miles south-west of Seaford, and we cover both.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you work in Seaford?
Yes, we do: Seaford is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
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.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
