Artex removal for Wellbrook properties
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. Typical materials include stipple finishes, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are coatings already disturbed and ceilings before downlights go in.
In a village like Wellbrook, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Your questions about Artex removal in Wellbrook
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.
Do you come out to small villages like Wellbrook?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will advise room by room.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- Disposal costs
- The number of samples or the size of the building
