Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan around the closed rooms

Your questions about Artex removal in Pulborough
Do you cover Pulborough and the area around Pulborough station?
Yes. Pulborough station is about 0.6 miles west of Pulborough, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work in Pulborough?
Yes, Pulborough is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- The type of material and its condition
- Disposal costs
- The category of work
- How easy it is to reach
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- Approximate dimensions
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it does not:
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
Typical Artex jobs in Pulborough
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Walls before tiling
In older homes in Pulborough, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Comparing quotes
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
