Artex in Wallcrouch homes
Wallcrouch is about 8 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in East Sussex. Properties in Wallcrouch range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Wallcrouch is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we work. We work right across the region, from Wallcrouch to Crawley (about 25 miles away).
In older homes in Wallcrouch, textured ceilings were often added in later decades. If you are refurbishing a rental near Stonegate station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings. Parts of the High Weald National Landscape are within about 2 miles of Wallcrouch, and older rural homes there often have textured ceilings from past renovations.

Artex removal for Wallcrouch properties
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. From landlord refurbishments and ceilings before skimming, we deal with Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated plasterboard and more.
Village homes like those in Wallcrouch have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Your questions about Artex removal in Wallcrouch
Could my house in Wallcrouch contain asbestos?
If your home in Wallcrouch was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Wallcrouch home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Typically you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do you work in flats?
We do. 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. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
The scope of Artex removal
The usual limits are:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? 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. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Materials, one by one
Ceiling roses and cornices

Painted coatings

Prices and what affects them
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- The type of material and its condition
- Access to the area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- Where we could park
- Approximate dimensions
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Damaged areas
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Wallcrouch
Many trades want a test result first.
These come up again and again:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
A school like Stonegate Church of England Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.
