Artex removal near Sudbury
Artex removal near Sudbury
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Whether it’s loft conversions and extensions and ceilings before downlights go in, we cover textured walls, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
In flats and houses around Sudbury, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Sudbury must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Questions from Sudbury
Do you work in Sudbury despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do textured ceilings in Sudbury homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Generally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
