Common questions in Badgers Mount
Do you cover small places like Badgers Mount?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Badgers Mount homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Generally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
How much does Artex removal cost in Badgers Mount?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
Typical jobs in Badgers Mount include:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Flaking textured ceilings
If you are refurbishing a rental near Knockholt station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Whether the job needs notifying
