Artex removal near Crockerhill
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Common materials are stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard, and people generally contact us about extensions that cut into ceilings and walls before tiling.
Rural homes near Crockerhill have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

FAQs for Crockerhill
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do textured ceilings in Crockerhill homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise for each room.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
A closer look at the materials
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Crockerhill
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Loft conversions and extensions
Non-domestic buildings like Tangmere Primary Academy should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
Before booking anyone
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- If the price includes VAT
- How fibres will be kept down
DIY and asbestos

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
