Artex removal for Maidenbower properties
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. People often contact us about landlord refurbishments and coatings scraped during DIY, including swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard.
In Maidenbower, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Maidenbower: your questions answered
Is the Artex in my Maidenbower home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How far is Maidenbower from London?
We cover Maidenbower, about 27 miles from central London.
Do you work in Maidenbower?
Yes. We cover Maidenbower and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Maidenbower must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
