How artex removal works in Norlington
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Common materials are swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are ceilings before plastering and flaking textured ceilings.
In a village like Norlington, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Questions from Norlington
Is the Artex in my Norlington home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Norlington and the area around Lewes station?
Yes. Lewes station is about 2.8 miles south-west of Norlington, and we cover both.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.

Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Norlington must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
