Artex removal for Sutton properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical jobs include rented homes refurbished between tenants and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, including stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
Village homes like those in Sutton have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Where asbestos turns up
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.
These come up again and again:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings coming down
If you are refurbishing a rental near Amberley station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
What your quote should include

A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t 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.

Your questions about Artex removal in Sutton
Do you cover small places like Sutton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is the Artex in my Sutton home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Looking after things afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Avoid these
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
The scope of Artex removal
To be clear about the scope:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other materials may need their own approach
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
