Artex removal for Gossops Green
Artex removal for Gossops Green properties
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Whether it’s ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and ceilings before skimming, we deal with coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses and more.
Homes in places like Gossops Green may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so test each different coating. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

For businesses and landlords in Gossops Green

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

What it might be made of
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
The process
We start by sealing and protecting the room, then keep the coating wet throughout. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
How to prepare
- Dig out previous surveys
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings coming down
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings before downlights go in
For a school such as Ifield Community College, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.
