Artex removal in Milton Street
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Typical jobs include loft conversions and extensions and rented flats before redecoration, including coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and stipple finishes.
In a village like Milton Street, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- The size of the job
- The number of samples or the size of the building
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
These are some of the things we deal with in Milton Street:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Loft conversions
Non-domestic buildings like Alfriston School should already have records of any textured coatings.

That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Materials, one by one
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Looking after things afterwards
The surface is left ready for making good.
Once we’re done:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Each different coating needs testing
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Clear the rooms before the work
Things not to do
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
