Artex removal near Froxfield Green
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 Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and textured walls, and people typically contact us about ceilings before plastering and walls before tiling.
Village homes like those in Froxfield Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
FAQs for Froxfield Green
Do older homes in Froxfield Green have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Froxfield Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. A test will tell you.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
