Asbestos help in West Chiltington
How artex removal works in West Chiltington
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Whether it’s walls before tiling and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we deal with textured walls, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
In a village like West Chiltington, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Duty holders and landlords in West Chiltington
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.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
How we price Artex removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Disposal costs
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

West Chiltington: your questions answered
Do you work near Pulborough station?
Yes. Pulborough station is about 3 miles west of West Chiltington, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you cover West Chiltington?
We do: West Chiltington is within the area we cover in West Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Where asbestos turns up
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
These come up again and again:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Loft conversions
- Damaged or cracked coatings
Non-domestic buildings like West Chiltington Community Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
