Artex removal for Ramsdean properties
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are walls before tiling and flaking textured ceilings.
Rural homes near Ramsdean have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Duty holders and landlords in Ramsdean
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
A closer look at the materials
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Looking after things afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Photos help us quote
- File the test result and waste note
- Book your plasterer after removal
Things not to do
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Test before the builders arrive.
How it works
If we’re taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible and bagged or wrapped. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there is no confusion.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
How to prepare
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
How to get a quote

FAQs for Ramsdean
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Ramsdean homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll recommend one for each room.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Disposal costs
- Travel and parking
- The category of work
- The survey scope
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A rough size or measurement
- Street parking nearby
- Damaged areas
- A clear close-up
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Which option is right?
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Reports and results you can share
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
