Artex removal for The Mint
How artex removal works in The Mint
Planning a renovation in The Mint with textured ceilings? Test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and textured walls, and typical jobs are walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and damaged or cracked coatings.
Rural homes near The Mint have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

FAQs for The Mint
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like The Mint?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
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.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How it works
If we are taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible and bagged or wrapped. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- We go through the options and send a quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
How to prepare
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

- Keep away from the material in the meantime

These come up again and again:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Coatings scraped during DIY

For a school such as Liss Junior School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

For businesses and landlords in The Mint
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
