Artex removal for Swaile's Green
Artex removal near Swaile's Green
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. We often deal with stipple finishes, textured walls and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are damaged or cracked coatings and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
Village homes like those in Swaile's Green have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

We test each different coating.
Choosing the right option
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Swaile's Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Swaile's Green from London?
Swaile's Green is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
After we have finished in Swaile's Green
File the result and the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos help us quote
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Test every different coating
- Plan around the closed rooms
What to avoid
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Swaile's Green
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.

- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
