Artex removal for Alfriston properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Alfriston, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. People often contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and coatings already disturbed, including coated plasterboard, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
Rural homes near Alfriston have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.

Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
