About our artex removal in Rose Hill
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. People often contact us about walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and flaking textured ceilings, including stipple finishes, textured walls and swirl patterns.
Rural homes near Rose Hill have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Damaged or cracked coatings
Non-domestic buildings like Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
What your quote should include
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What category of work it is
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Which areas and materials are covered

Duty holders and landlords in Rose Hill
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Rose Hill, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Materials, one by one
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Rose Hill questions
Is the Artex in my Rose Hill home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you come out to small villages like Rose Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you cover Rose Hill?
Yes. We cover Rose Hill and the surrounding area as part of East Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
