Artex removal for East Worldham properties
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Typical jobs include coatings damaged by DIY and ceilings before skimming, including stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.
Village homes like those in East Worldham have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

East Worldham: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like East Worldham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is East Worldham from London?
We cover East Worldham, about 44 miles from central London.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Usually you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
