Artex removal in Street End
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across Street End. We often deal with swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by leaks and ceilings due for plastering or skimming.
Rural homes near Street End have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Questions from Street End
Is the Artex in my Street End home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Street End and the area around Chichester station?
Yes. Chichester station is about 3.2 miles north of Street End, and we cover both.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
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.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
The scope of Artex removal
Worth knowing before you book:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
