Artex removal near Tutt Hill
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. People often contact us about ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and walls before tiling, including stipple finishes, textured walls and coated plasterboard.
In a village like Tutt Hill, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Where asbestos turns up
Many trades want a test result first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings coming down
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Walls before tiling
Non-domestic buildings like The Hayesbrook School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

Questions from Tutt Hill
Do you cover Tutt Hill from London?
Tutt Hill is about 45 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Tutt Hill have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Tutt Hill may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
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.
