Artex removal in Sidlesham Common
About our artex removal in Sidlesham Common
If your renovation in Sidlesham Common involves textured ceilings, test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. From ceilings before skimming and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, we deal with coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in Sidlesham Common have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings coming down
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Landlord refurbishments
- Coatings damaged by leaks
For rented flats close to Chichester station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

A closer look at the materials
Coated plasterboard
Board removal avoids stripping.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.

Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

DIY and asbestos

Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- What the material is and its state
- How easy it is to reach
- Location, parking and any London charges

- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Street parking nearby
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

The process
We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Preparing for the visit
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
