How artex removal works in Coursehorn
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and textured walls, and typical jobs are flaking textured ceilings and coatings damaged by DIY.
Rural homes near Coursehorn have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

FAQs for Coursehorn
Could my house in Coursehorn contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings

- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- The coating is removed with controls
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
