Artex removal across BN10
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in BN10. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are textured walls before a refit and coatings already disturbed.
If we’re taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible and bagged or wrapped.

Artex removal in BN10
From Peacehaven, Telscombe and Telscombe Cliffs to small villages, homes across BN10 have textured ceilings. Testing comes first, wherever you are. 3 of the places we cover in BN10 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.
Peacehaven: A school like Peacehaven Community School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested. If you’re refurbishing flats near Newhaven Town station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
Your options compared
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best.
Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What category of work it is
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
Materials, one by one
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
What we deal with in BN10
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Loft conversions
- Flaking textured ceilings
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- We need the room cleared
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other materials may need their own approach
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
BN10: your questions answered
Is my textured ceiling in BN10 asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
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.
