How artex removal works in Flansham
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. People often contact us about walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and ceilings before skimming, including swirl patterns, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Flansham have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- How easy it is to reach
- Parking and access charges
- The survey scope
- How much waste there is
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
- A close-up from a safe distance
Each job is priced individually. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Flansham
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Textured walls before a refit
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
In older homes in Flansham, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

Weighing up your options
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

Your questions about Artex removal in Flansham
Is asbestos common in Flansham homes?
If your home in Flansham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Barnham station?
Yes. Barnham station is about 1.9 miles north of Flansham, and we cover both.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
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 you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
