How artex removal works in Albourne Green
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical materials include stipple finishes, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and people usually contact us about ceilings coming down and rented flats before redecoration.
Village homes like those in Albourne Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

FAQs for Albourne Green
Could my house in Albourne Green contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Albourne Green can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Albourne Green from London?
Albourne Green is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Albourne Green?
We do: our area includes Albourne Green and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

Materials, one by one
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
For businesses and landlords in Albourne Green
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Albourne Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
