About our artex removal in Culverstone Green
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. From coatings in the way of electrical work and coatings damaged by leaks, we deal with coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and textured walls.
Rural homes near Culverstone Green have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Culverstone Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Culverstone Green from London?
Culverstone Green is about 22 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Sole Street station?
Yes, we cover Culverstone Green and the area towards Sole Street station, about 3.2 miles north.
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Is my textured ceiling in Culverstone Green asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer

DIY and asbestos
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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Things not to do
