Artex removal for Wivelsfield properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Whether it’s walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and loft conversions and extensions, we cover stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses and more.
In places like Wivelsfield, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Weighing up your options
What are the options for Artex? 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 generally better. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Wivelsfield questions
Could my house in Wivelsfield contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Wivelsfield from London?
Wivelsfield is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Wivelsfield?
Yes, we do: our area includes Wivelsfield and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
