About our artex removal in Sutton Scotney
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Sutton Scotney. From coatings damaged by DIY and coatings in the way of electrical work, we deal with coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes and more.
Rural homes near Sutton Scotney have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Helpful guides
Your questions about Artex removal in Sutton Scotney
Do you cover small places like Sutton Scotney?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Sutton Scotney from London?
We cover Sutton Scotney, about 59 miles from central London.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
