How artex removal works in Heyshott Green
If your renovation in Heyshott Green involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Typical materials include textured walls, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes, and people usually contact us about ceilings before skimming and coatings damaged by DIY.
Village homes like those in Heyshott Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Heyshott Green
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.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings coming down

In older homes in Heyshott Green, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Every quote reflects:
- The quantity or area

Helpful guides
FAQs for Heyshott Green
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.
Could my house in Heyshott Green contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Heyshott Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll explain the options.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
