Our artex removal in BN22
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Typical materials include textured walls, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are ceilings due for plastering or skimming and walls before tiling.
If we are taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible and bagged or wrapped.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We test a sample of each coating
- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove
- We remove it safely if that is what you choose
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
What you’ll pay
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

What’s near Hampden Park
Locally, our jobs take us close to Princes Park, Heron Park Primary Academy and The Eastbourne Academy. The nearest railway station is close to the centre of Hampden Park: Hampden Park station.

BN22: textured coatings in homes
Across BN22, renovations often uncover textured coatings, in Eastbourne, Old Town and Upperton and smaller places alike. 7 of the places we cover in BN22 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.
Hampden Park: A school like Heron Park Primary Academy should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start. If you are refurbishing a rental near Hampden Park station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
Materials we deal with
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, but the coating underneath is the same.
Which option is right?
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first.
Before you book anyone
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What paperwork you get
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.
- File the test result and waste note
- Keep pets away
- Each different coating needs testing
- Book your plasterer after removal
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
BN22: your questions answered
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
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. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
