How artex removal works in Shoreham
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. People often contact us about coatings damaged by DIY and ceilings before skimming, including coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and textured walls.
In a village like Shoreham, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

What we deal with in Shoreham
Many trades want a test result first.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Loft conversions
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed

If your home is one of the older properties in Shoreham, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Shoreham: your questions answered
How far is Shoreham from London?
We cover Shoreham, about 16 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you cover Shoreham?
Yes. We cover Shoreham and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How we price Artex removal
These are the main things that affect the price of Artex removal:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
- The quantity or area
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- An overall view
- The parking area
- Damaged areas
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
You will get a written quote. Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details.
What happens next
The surface is left ready for making good.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep pets away
Things not to do
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.

Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is normally better. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
