Artex removal near Findon
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
About our artex removal in Findon
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. People often contact us about rented flats before redecoration and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, involving stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Findon have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Doing 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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
The process
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and keep the room closed while we work. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
How to prepare
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Options to consider in Findon
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why choose us
- Reports and results you can share
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Questions from Findon
Do older homes in Findon have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Findon and the area around West Worthing station?
Yes, we cover Findon and the area towards West Worthing station, about 3.4 miles south.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other materials may need their own approach
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- How much there is
- Travel and parking
- Access to the area
- Material and condition
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Cracks or breaks
- Street parking nearby
- A clear close-up
For a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What we deal with in Findon
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Loft conversions
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Textured walls before a refit
In older homes in Findon, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the job needs notifying
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The documents you’ll receive
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
What happens next
File the result and the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- File the test result and waste note
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Plan around the closed rooms
Avoid these
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
