For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Funtington, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Which option is right?
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Common questions in Funtington
Do you cover small places like Funtington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Materials, one by one
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Typical Artex jobs in Funtington
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
In older properties, we often see:

For a school such as Funtington Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
