Artex removal near Selsey
If your renovation in Selsey involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. We often deal with coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by leaks and walls before tiling.
In towns like Selsey, plenty of homes from the 1960s to 1990s have textured ceilings, though older homes may have them too. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Why people call us in Selsey
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings coming down
- Ceilings before downlights go in
Non-domestic buildings like Seal Primary Academy should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
What your quote should include
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What paperwork you get
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Suitable insurance for the work
Can I do it myself?

Your questions about Artex removal in Selsey
Could my house in Selsey contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Selsey from London?
We cover Selsey, about 61 miles from central London.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Is my textured ceiling in Selsey asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
For businesses and landlords in Selsey
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Which option is right?
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Test first. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
