Areas we cover
Artex removal across RH10
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. People often contact us about flaking textured ceilings and textured walls before a refit, including coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses.
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and the room stays closed.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We arrange testing
- We talk through the options
- We remove it safely if that is what you choose
- We dispose of the waste legally
What you’ll pay
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Textured ceilings across RH10
In RH10, renovation is when textured ceilings get noticed, in towns and villages alike.
Crawley: If your home is one of the older properties in Crawley, near Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation. Non-domestic buildings like Three Bridges Junior School should already have records of any textured coatings.
Afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- File the test result and waste note
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Choosing the right option
You will find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- What paperwork you get
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in RH10 must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If you run a business from older premises in RH10, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
FAQs for RH10
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Is my textured ceiling in RH10 asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
