Looking after things afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Test every different coating
- Keep pets away
- Plan around the closed rooms
What to avoid
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
How artex removal works in Rottingdean
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. We often deal with swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are ceilings due for plastering or skimming and ceilings before downlights go in.
In a village like Rottingdean, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

For businesses and landlords in Rottingdean
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
How it works
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout. The work area is kept clear while we’re working.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down

Common questions in Rottingdean
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Rottingdean have asbestos?
Any home in Rottingdean built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. 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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
