Artex removal for Ratton Village properties
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Whether it’s coatings already disturbed and rented flats before redecoration, we deal with coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
Homes in places like Ratton Village may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so each type needs testing. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

A closer look at the materials
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which does not change what’s underneath.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Ratton Village questions
Do you cover Ratton Village from London?
We cover Ratton Village, about 51 miles from central London.
Could my house in Ratton Village contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you work in Ratton Village?
Yes. We cover Ratton Village and the surrounding area as part of East Sussex. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
Some practical advice:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Each different coating needs testing
What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
What we do and do not cover
Before booking, note that:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
