Materials, one by one
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
For businesses and landlords in Rogate
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Rogate
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
These are some of the things we deal with in Rogate:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Loft conversions
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
If your home is one of the older properties in Rogate, near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Your questions about Artex removal in Rogate
How far is Rogate from London?
We cover Rogate, about 47 miles from central London.
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.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Options to consider in Rogate
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
