How artex removal works in Ifieldwood
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From textured walls before a refit and landlord refurbishments, we deal with coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and swirl patterns and more.
Village homes like those in Ifieldwood have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Ifieldwood: your questions answered
How far is Ifieldwood from London?
We cover Ifieldwood, about 26 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Ifieldwood?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Do you work in Ifieldwood?
We do: Ifieldwood is within the area we cover in West Sussex. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.

Can I do it myself?

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.

Where asbestos turns up

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Textured walls before a refit
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings before downlights go in
If you are refurbishing flats near Ifield station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
