What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We need the room cleared
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns

What we deal with in Findon Valley
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling releases fibres.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
In older homes in Findon Valley, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Questions to ask before booking
- How fibres will be kept down
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Suitable insurance for the work
Materials we deal with
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Findon Valley questions
Could my house in Findon Valley contain 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.
Do textured ceilings in Findon Valley homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
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.
