Artex removal for Cooper's Green
How artex removal works in Cooper's Green
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in Cooper's Green. People often contact us about coatings already disturbed and extensions that cut into ceilings, involving Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses.
Rural homes near Cooper's Green have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Your questions about Artex removal in Cooper's Green
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is the Artex in my Cooper's Green home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Is my textured ceiling in Cooper's Green asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
