Artex removal near Duncton
About our artex removal in Duncton
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. From walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and extensions that cut into ceilings, we deal with textured walls, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard and more.
Rural homes near Duncton have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What happens next
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
Going forward:
- Photos help us quote
- Give us room sizes
- File the test result and waste note
- Plan around the closed rooms
Don’ts
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
What it might be made of
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Questions from Duncton
Do you cover Duncton from London?
We cover Duncton, about 45 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Duncton have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is my textured ceiling in Duncton asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

Yes, we do: Duncton is within the area we cover in West Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What else we do in Duncton
Choosing the right option
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Read how we quote or the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Parking and access charges
- How easy it is to reach
- How much there is
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Street parking nearby
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
