What we deal with in Sayers Common
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings before downlights go in
Non-domestic buildings like Albourne CofE Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
What your quote should include
- Any exclusions
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What category of work it is
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
About our artex removal in Sayers Common
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and textured walls, and typical jobs are coatings already disturbed and flaking textured ceilings.
In places like Sayers Common, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Sayers Common must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Materials, one by one
Ceiling roses and cornices

FAQs for Sayers Common
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.
How far is Sayers Common from London?
We cover Sayers Common, about 38 miles from central London.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
How much does Artex removal cost in Sayers Common?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Usually not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.

Your options compared
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
