Asbestos help in Blindley Heath
How artex removal works in Blindley Heath
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Blindley Heath, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Typical jobs include loft conversions and extensions and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, involving coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in Blindley Heath have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Blindley Heath must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
After we’ve finished:
- File the test result and waste note
- Keep pets away
- Send photos of the coatings
- Plan around the closed rooms
Things not to do
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Options to consider in Blindley Heath
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Blindley Heath questions
Do you work near Godstone station?
Yes. Godstone station is about 1.5 miles north of Blindley Heath, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, 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.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll advise room by room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
