How artex removal works in Kingston Gorse
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Kingston Gorse. Typical materials include coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are coatings in the way of electrical work and loft conversions.
Rural homes near Kingston Gorse have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Kingston Gorse: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Kingston Gorse?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is the Artex in my Kingston Gorse home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Kingston Gorse
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings coming down
- Loft conversions
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
Non-domestic buildings like Ferring CofE Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
