Artex removal in Watersfield
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Watersfield, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. People often contact us about flaking textured ceilings and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, involving stipple finishes, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in Watersfield have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Questions from Watersfield
Do you cover Watersfield and the area around Pulborough station?
Yes, we cover Watersfield and the area towards Pulborough station, about 2.5 miles north-east.
Do you cover Watersfield from London?
We cover Watersfield, about 44 miles from central London.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Where asbestos turns up
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings before skimming
- Coatings damaged by DIY
If your home is one of the older properties in Watersfield, near The Parish Church of St Giles or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
