About our artex removal in Sutton
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. People often contact us about coatings damaged by DIY and coatings damaged by leaks, including coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in Sutton have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common questions in Sutton
Do you cover small places like Sutton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Sutton from London?
We cover Sutton, about 59 miles from central London.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Do you cover Sutton?
Yes. We cover Sutton and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How much does Artex removal cost in Sutton?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After the job
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
What to avoid
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
