Your questions about Artex removal in Offington
Do you work near West Worthing station?
Yes. West Worthing station is about 1.1 miles south of Offington, and we cover both.
Do you cover Offington from London?
Offington is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
For businesses and landlords in Offington
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you run a business from older premises in Offington, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Choosing the right option
A test before removal can save money: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why us?
- Records for your files
- Work done to the regulations
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Waste paperwork for every removal

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Afterwards
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
Some practical advice:
- Keep pets away
- Send photos of the coatings
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Test every different coating
Avoid these
Test before the builders arrive.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
