Artex removal in Shripney
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Shripney. Whether it’s coatings damaged by leaks and structural work through coated ceilings, we deal with textured walls, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses and more.
Rural homes near Shripney have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

FAQs for Shripney
Do you cover Shripney from London?
Shripney is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Shripney and the area around Bognor Regis station?
Yes, we cover Shripney and the area towards Bognor Regis station, about 1.7 miles south.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
What we deal with in Shripney
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Textured walls before a refit
