How artex removal works in Felbridge
Planning a renovation in Felbridge with textured ceilings? Test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are flaking textured ceilings and extensions that cut into ceilings.
Village homes like those in Felbridge have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Duty holders and landlords in Felbridge
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Felbridge, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Felbridge questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Felbridge from London?
We cover Felbridge, about 25 miles from central London.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
