Artex removal for Sun Rising
What it might be made of
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which does not change what’s underneath.
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Artex removal near Sun Rising
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. People often contact us about coatings scraped during DIY and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, involving coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
Rural homes near Sun Rising have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Parking and access charges
- How much there is
- How easy it is to reach
- The category of work
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A picture of the whole area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Street parking nearby
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep pets away
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Book your plasterer after removal
Things not to do
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Sun Rising questions
Do textured ceilings in Sun Rising homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover small places like Sun Rising?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
