Artex removal across BN43
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. Typical materials include textured walls, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and coatings in the way of electrical work.
Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, then taken to a permitted site.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the method and quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally

Artex removal in BN43

We test first, wherever the property is. 5 of the places we cover in BN43 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.
Shoreham-by-Sea: Non-domestic buildings like Buckingham Park Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings. If you are refurbishing flats near Shoreham-By-Sea station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Other materials may need their own approach
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.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your trades.
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Photos help us quote
- File the test result and waste note
- Keep pets out of the work area
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Test before the builders arrive.

BN43: your questions answered
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
