Artex removal near Catsfield
Artex removal near Catsfield
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. Typical jobs include walls before tiling and ceilings before plastering, involving swirl patterns, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
Rural homes near Catsfield have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

What happens next
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Each different coating needs testing
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Avoid these
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.

FAQs for Catsfield
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Battle station?
Yes, we cover Catsfield and the area towards Battle station, about 2.2 miles north-east.
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 ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll explain the options.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
How we price Artex removal
These are the main things that affect the price of Artex removal:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The size of the job
- Location, parking and any London charges
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- The access route
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The parking area
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
