Artex removal for Bramber properties
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. Whether it’s ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and rented flats before redecoration, we deal with textured walls, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes and more.
In a village like Bramber, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Bramber
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Walls before tiling
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings coming down
Non-domestic buildings like Upper Beeding Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.

Things not to do

What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of Artex removal:
- The size of the job
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The category of work
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Common questions in Bramber
Do you work near Shoreham-By-Sea station?
Yes, we cover Bramber and the area towards Shoreham-By-Sea station, about 4.1 miles south-east.
Do you cover Bramber from London?
Bramber is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Generally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
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.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll recommend one for each room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
