Artex removal near Chilgrove
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Chilgrove must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Artex removal for Chilgrove properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. From flaking textured ceilings and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, we deal with textured walls, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses.
In a village like Chilgrove, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Step by step
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly before the seals come down. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the method and quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Preparing for the visit
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there

Chilgrove questions
Do you come out to small villages like Chilgrove?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do textured ceilings in Chilgrove homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Chilgrove?
Yes. We cover Chilgrove and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
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.
What affects the price in Chilgrove
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- How much waste there is
- The size of the job
- The survey scope
- Location, parking and any London charges
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- The parking area
- The access route
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Damaged areas
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
