About our artex removal in Rusper
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. We often deal with coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and textured walls, and people generally contact us about rented flats before redecoration and ceilings before plastering.
Rural homes near Rusper have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Rusper

These are some of the things we deal with in Rusper:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings already disturbed
Non-domestic buildings like Rusper Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
What to look for in a quote
- The scope of the job, in writing
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What category of work it is
- The method and controls
Duty holders and landlords in Rusper
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
The process
For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces and bagged or wrapped. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Before we arrive
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
