Artex removal in Flackwell Heath
How artex removal works in Flackwell Heath
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Typical jobs include coatings already disturbed and extensions that cut into ceilings, including coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and textured walls.
In a smaller place like Flackwell Heath, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

For businesses and landlords in Flackwell Heath
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Flackwell Heath must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Questions from Flackwell Heath
Could my house in Flackwell Heath contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Flackwell Heath home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
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 be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What we deal with in Flackwell Heath
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
Older homes across Flackwell Heath may have coatings added during past renovations.
