About our artex removal in Newtimber
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. From landlord refurbishments and coatings in the way of electrical work, we cover swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
Rural homes near Newtimber have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

For businesses and landlords in Newtimber
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Choosing the right option
You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What you get
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Clear advice on your options
- Identify first, remove only when needed
Take a look at our prices page and published price ranges.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Newtimber questions
Is asbestos common in Newtimber homes?
Any home in Newtimber built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Hassocks station?
Yes, we cover Newtimber and the area towards Hassocks station, about 2.4 miles north-east.
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.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
The process
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly before the seals come down. The work area is kept clear while we’re working.

- We test a sample of each coating
