About our artex removal in Yapton
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. People often contact us about coatings damaged by leaks and ceilings before plastering, including textured walls, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses.
In a smaller place like Yapton, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about Artex removal in Yapton
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Yapton homes?
If your home in Yapton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Generally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
