How artex removal works in Sundridge
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. Typical jobs include coatings already disturbed and flaking textured ceilings, including stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in towns and villages like Sundridge, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Why people call us in Sundridge
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, which can make them crumble.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Ceilings coming down
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
If your home is one of the older properties in Sundridge, near St Andrew or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- What category of work it is
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Which option is right?
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why choose us
- Records for your files

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If your business premises in Sundridge were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Questions from Sundridge
Is asbestos common in Sundridge homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Sundridge home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I get a quote?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
