Artex removal near Flowers Green
About our artex removal in Flowers Green
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. People often contact us about rented flats before redecoration and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, including coated plasterboard, textured walls and swirl patterns.
Rural homes near Flowers Green have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Common questions in Flowers Green
Do you cover Flowers Green and the area around Pevensey Bay station?
Yes, we cover Flowers Green and the area towards Pevensey Bay station, about 4.4 miles south.
Do older homes in Flowers Green have asbestos?
If your home in Flowers Green 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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.

Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
For a school such as Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the job needs notifying
- The method and controls
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What paperwork you get
For businesses and landlords in Flowers Green
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Flowers Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
