About our artex removal in Rotherbridge
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. From coatings damaged by DIY and loft conversions and extensions, we deal with swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
In a village like Rotherbridge, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Rotherbridge, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much waste there is
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How many samples are needed
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The parking area
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
After the job
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Going forward:
- Keep pets away
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Test every different coating
What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
Rotherbridge: your questions answered
Do you cover Rotherbridge and the area around Pulborough station?
Yes. Pulborough station is about 4.8 miles east of Rotherbridge, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
