Artex removal for Warninglid properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. From ceilings due for plastering or skimming and walls before tiling, we deal with Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
In places like Warninglid, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Warninglid questions
Do you cover small places like Warninglid?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is my textured ceiling in Warninglid asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Weighing up your options
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. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
