Asbestos help in Fishbourne
Artex removal in Fishbourne
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Common materials are textured walls, swirl patterns and stipple finishes, and people usually contact us about coatings damaged by DIY and loft conversions and extensions.
In Fishbourne, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Materials we deal with
Coated plasterboard
Board removal avoids stripping.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
For managing agents and freeholders in Fishbourne, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Artex in Fishbourne homes
Fishbourne is about 1 mile west of Chichester, in West Sussex. Properties in Fishbourne range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We work in all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 26 miles away.
Non-domestic buildings like Fishbourne CofE Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings. If your home is one of the older properties in Fishbourne, near Church of St Peter and St Mary or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Good to know
The usual limits are:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials

- Swirl and stipple patterns

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Fishbourne
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
These come up again and again:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Textured walls before a refit
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Fishbourne station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

Your questions about Artex removal in Fishbourne
Do you cover Fishbourne and the area around Fishbourne station?
Yes. Fishbourne station is close to the centre of Fishbourne, and we cover the whole area.
Do you cover Fishbourne from London?
We cover Fishbourne, about 55 miles from central London.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
