What we deal with in Glyndebourne
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Ceilings coming down
- Loft conversions
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings before downlights go in
For a school such as Ringmer Primary and Nursery School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.
What to look for in a quote
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples

About our artex removal in Glyndebourne
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Glyndebourne. From ceilings before skimming and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we deal with coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Glyndebourne have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

What else we do in Glyndebourne
What happens next
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
After we’ve finished:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Each different coating needs testing
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Give us room sizes
Avoid these
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

- Artex ceilings
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Materials, one by one
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
How we work
For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces and bagged or wrapped. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Questions from Glyndebourne
Is the Artex in my Glyndebourne home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Usually not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
