Artex removal in Bells Yew Green
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and coatings in the way of electrical work, involving coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses.
In towns and villages like Bells Yew Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Bells Yew Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Bells Yew Green from London?
We cover Bells Yew Green, about 32 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Other materials may need their own approach
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Bells Yew Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
