Storrington: your questions answered
Could my house in Storrington contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Storrington and the area around Pulborough station?
Yes, we cover Storrington and the area towards Pulborough station, about 3.9 miles north-west.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
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.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Do you cover Storrington?
Yes, we do: Storrington is within the area we cover in West Sussex. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of Artex removal:
- How much there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much waste there is
- Material and condition
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A picture of the whole area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Labels, if any

Materials in Storrington
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
Which option is right?
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

What we deal with in Storrington
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Structural work through coated ceilings
For rented flats close to Pulborough station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
What your quote should include
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
What it might be made of
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
