Artex removal for Seaton properties
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, across Seaton. From coatings damaged by leaks and ceilings before downlights go in, we deal with Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and textured walls.
Rural homes near Seaton have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

After the job
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
After we’ve finished:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Test every different coating
- Clear the rooms before the work
What to avoid
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Weighing up your options
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Common questions in Seaton
Do you cover Seaton from London?
Seaton is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Seaton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- What the material is and its state
- How easy it is to reach
- The survey scope
- The category of work
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Approximate dimensions
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An overall view
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What we deal with in Seaton
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
These are some of the things we deal with in Seaton:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Textured walls before a refit
- Rented flats before redecoration
If your home is one of the older properties in Seaton, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
