Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What we deal with in Angmering-on-Sea
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings coming down
- Rented flats before redecoration
A school like East Preston Infant School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
Board removal avoids stripping.
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.

Angmering-on-Sea questions
Do you cover small places like Angmering-on-Sea?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll recommend one for each room.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
