Artex removal for Snagshall
Artex removal near Snagshall
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. From loft conversions and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we deal with Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard.
In a village like Snagshall, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Snagshall questions
Do you cover small places like Snagshall?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Robertsbridge station?
Yes. Robertsbridge station is about 3.3 miles west of Snagshall, and we cover both.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
After we have finished in Snagshall
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Give us room sizes
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Photos help us quote
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
What to avoid
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

What else we do in Snagshall
The scope of Artex removal
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
Your options compared
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
