Artex removal in Udimore
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Udimore, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. People often contact us about loft conversions and ceilings before skimming, involving coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses.
In places like Udimore, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Your questions about Artex removal in Udimore
Do you come out to small villages like Udimore?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Udimore from London?
Udimore is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
