Artex removal in Tinsley Green
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Tinsley Green, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. From walls before tiling and loft conversions, we deal with coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in Tinsley Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

What we deal with in Tinsley Green
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Textured walls before a refit
- Flaking textured ceilings
If you’re refurbishing flats near Gatwick Airport station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- If the price includes VAT
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of Artex removal:
- Access to the area
- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The category of work
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- The parking area
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A rough size or measurement

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Looking after things afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
After we have finished:
- Photos help us quote
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Each different coating needs testing
- Plan around the closed rooms
What to avoid
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
What it might be made of
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
- We need the room cleared
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns

Questions from Tinsley Green
Is the Artex in my Tinsley Green home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Tinsley Green homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do you cover Tinsley Green?
Yes. We cover Tinsley Green and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
