Artex removal in Sullington
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From loft conversions and extensions and ceilings before skimming, we cover coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes and more.
In places like Sullington, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.

What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings

Your options compared
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Test first. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Sullington questions
Do you cover Sullington and the area around Amberley station?
Yes, we cover Sullington and the area towards Amberley station, about 4.7 miles west.
Is the Artex in my Sullington home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What we deal with in Sullington
Most problems come during renovation: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings before plastering
- Walls before tiling
- Flaking textured ceilings
If your home is one of the older properties in Sullington, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What isn’t included
Looking after things afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets away
- Each different coating needs testing
- Photos help us quote
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
What to avoid
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
