Artex removal in Crowhurst Lane End
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. From loft conversions and extensions and structural work through coated ceilings, we cover swirl patterns, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in Crowhurst Lane End have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before booking:
- We need the room cleared
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
Questions from Crowhurst Lane End
Could my house in Crowhurst Lane End contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Crowhurst Lane End from London?
We cover Crowhurst Lane End, about 20 miles from central London.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Duty holders and landlords in Crowhurst Lane End
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
