Artex removal for Selsfield Common
How artex removal works in Selsfield Common
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical materials include swirl patterns, textured walls and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are structural work through coated ceilings and ceilings before downlights go in.
Rural homes near Selsfield Common have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
After the job
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
Going forward:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- File the test result and waste note
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Avoid these
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.

Selsfield Common: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Selsfield Common and the area around East Grinstead station?
Yes. East Grinstead station is about 3.5 miles north-east of Selsfield Common, and we cover both.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you work in Selsfield Common?
Yes, we do: Selsfield Common is within the area we cover in West Sussex. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
