Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Artex ceilings
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
What we deal with in Ninfield
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
Older homes across Ninfield may have coatings added during past renovations.

Questions from Ninfield
Do you work near Crowhurst station?
Yes, we cover Ninfield and the area towards Crowhurst station, about 3.5 miles east.
Do you cover small places like Ninfield?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
