Artex removal in Salvington
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. People often contact us about walls before tiling and coatings already disturbed, involving swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and textured walls.
In Salvington, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Salvington, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Questions from Salvington
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Salvington from London?
We cover Salvington, about 48 miles from central London.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise for each room.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Typical Artex jobs in Salvington
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings before skimming
If you’re refurbishing a rental near West Worthing station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
