About artex removal in West Sussex

Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include damaged or cracked coatings and ceilings before downlights go in, including textured walls, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings.

On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout.

Textured ceilings across West Sussex

In West Sussex, renovation is when textured ceilings get noticed, in towns and villages alike. The South Downs National Park and the High Weald National Landscape are within easy reach of places across West Sussex, where rural and farm buildings with cement roofs are common. Around 121 places in West Sussex are close to the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.

Crawley: For a school such as Three Bridges Junior School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings. Older homes across Crawley may have coatings added during past renovations.

Materials we deal with

Painted coatings

Many coatings have been painted over, but the coating underneath is the same.

Patched areas

Patches may be newer material.

Should you do it yourself?

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

After the job

Covered coatings should be recorded.

Give us room sizes
Empty the rooms in advance
Plan around the closed rooms
Send photos of the coatings

Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.

Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.

Choosing the right option

A test before removal can save money: a clear result means normal methods.

Common questions in West Sussex

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to every area involved in the job.

Do you cover West Sussex?

We do: West Sussex is within the area we cover in West Sussex. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.

Does asbestos always have to come out?

Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

Do I need a test or a survey?

A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
