Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Clear advice on your options
- Identify first, remove only when needed
See how we quote or our cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Where asbestos turns up
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Walls before tiling
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
Older homes across Sunbury-on-Thames may have coatings added during past renovations.

FAQs for Sunbury-on-Thames
Do textured ceilings in Sunbury-on-Thames homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work near Sunbury station?
Yes, we cover Sunbury-on-Thames, including the streets around Sunbury station.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
