What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Other materials may need their own approach

Artex removal for Domewood properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. People often contact us about rented flats before redecoration and ceilings before plastering, involving Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
In places like Domewood, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Ceiling roses and cornices

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Artex in Domewood homes
Domewood is about 3 miles west of East Grinstead, in West Sussex. Properties in Domewood range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We work in all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages.
For a school such as Imberhorne School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start. Domewood is within about 6 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, and older rural homes there often have textured ceilings from past renovations.

Domewood questions
Do textured ceilings in Domewood homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you cover Domewood?
Yes. We cover Domewood and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
How much does Artex removal cost in Domewood?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Duty holders and landlords in Domewood
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Domewood, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If your business premises in Domewood were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- How much waste there is
- Access to the area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The survey scope
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

Why people call us in Domewood
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Landlord refurbishments
For rented flats close to East Grinstead station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What paperwork you get
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
Which option is right?
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is usually best. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
