About our artex removal in Sutton Wick
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. From textured walls before a refit and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, we deal with Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
In a village like Sutton Wick, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Choosing the right option
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is usually better. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

A closer look at the materials
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Sutton Wick questions
Could my house in Sutton Wick contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do textured ceilings in Sutton Wick homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
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.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
