About our artex removal in Horsemere Green
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. Whether it’s coatings already disturbed and flaking textured ceilings, we deal with swirl patterns, stipple finishes and textured walls and more.
In a village like Horsemere Green, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Questions from Horsemere Green
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.
Is asbestos common in Horsemere Green homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Horsemere Green may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
A few practical points:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Send photos of the coatings
- Give us room sizes
Don’ts
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Duty holders and landlords in Horsemere Green
If you manage or own a block in Horsemere Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, which can make them crumble.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Coatings already disturbed
- Textured walls before a refit
- Loft conversions and extensions
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Ford station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

- The parking area
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Labels, if any

- Tell us about parking and access

Should you do it yourself?
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.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
