About our artex removal in Slindon
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Whether it’s walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and landlord refurbishments, we deal with stipple finishes, textured walls and swirl patterns and more.
In places like Slindon, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Questions from Slindon
Do you work near Barnham station?
Yes, we cover Slindon and the area towards Barnham station, about 2.5 miles south.
How far is Slindon from London?
Slindon is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do you cover Slindon?
Yes. We cover Slindon and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

Weighing up your options
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why choose us
- No removal until we know what it is
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Written quotes that say what’s included
Read how we price jobs and the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What’s included, and what is not
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it does not:
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we deal with
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Step by step
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Get in touch with photos
- We arrange testing
- We talk through the options
- We remove it safely if that is what you choose
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know where we can park
