How artex removal works in RH16

If your renovation in RH16 involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. We often deal with textured walls, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns, and people normally contact us about landlord refurbishments and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.

We start by sealing and protecting the room, then keep the coating wet throughout.

  1. Send photos of the textured surfaces
  2. We arrange testing
  3. We explain your options: leave, cover or remove
  4. We carry out the removal
  5. We dispose of the waste legally

Haywards Heath: If you are refurbishing flats near Haywards Heath station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings. For a school such as Warden Park Primary Academy, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Which option is right?

A test before removal can save money: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used.

How we price Artex removal

The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:

  • Licensed or non-licensed
  • The number of samples or the size of the building
  • Material and condition
  • How easy it is to reach

Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

RH16: your questions answered

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.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

How do I get a quote?

Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.

What if my house is newer?

Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
