Artex removal for Walderton properties
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. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes, and people typically contact us about textured walls before a refit and coatings damaged by leaks.
Rural homes near Walderton have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Common questions in Walderton
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Walderton from London?
Walderton is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you cover Walderton?
Yes, Walderton is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
After the job
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Test every different coating
- Send photos of the coatings
- Plan around the closed rooms
- File the test result and waste note
Things not to do
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Walderton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If you manage or own a block in Walderton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
