Our artex removal in TN31
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. People often contact us about extensions that cut into ceilings and coatings damaged by DIY, involving coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and swirl patterns.
If we are taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible and bagged or wrapped.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Prices in TN31
The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What you get
- Across London and the South East
- Domestic and commercial work
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

Artex removal in TN31
From Rye, Northiam and Camber to small villages, homes across TN31 have textured ceilings. We test first, wherever the property is. Around 19 places in TN31 are close to the coast, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.
Rye: If your home is one of the older properties in Rye, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation. Non-domestic buildings like Rye Community Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.
Good to know
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- How much waste there is
- Parking and access charges
- Access to the area
- Licensed or non-licensed
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Where we could park
- Labels, if any
- A picture of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Where asbestos turns up
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
In older properties, we often see:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings before plastering

Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Your questions about Artex removal in TN31
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
