Artex removal near Liss
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. From coatings in the way of electrical work and ceilings before skimming, we deal with textured walls, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
In Liss, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Liss: your questions answered
Do older homes in Liss have asbestos?
Any home in Liss built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.

What else we do in Liss
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
After the job
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Some practical advice:
- File the test result and waste note
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
What to avoid
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Test before the builders arrive.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
