Artex removal in Edenbridge
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Typical jobs include rented homes refurbished between tenants and coatings scraped during DIY, involving stipple finishes, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings.
In towns and villages like Edenbridge, textured ceilings are a common renovation find, and testing comes first. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
Older homes across Edenbridge may have coatings added during past renovations.

Responsibilities for owners
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.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Edenbridge questions
How far is Edenbridge from London?
We cover Edenbridge, about 22 miles from central London.
Do textured ceilings in Edenbridge homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work in Edenbridge?
Yes, we do: our area includes Edenbridge and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
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.
Is my textured ceiling in Edenbridge asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What affects the price in Edenbridge
These are the main things that affect the price of Artex removal:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Travel and parking
- What the material is and its state
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Approximate dimensions
- Damaged areas
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The access route
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 to get started.
Afterwards
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Send photos of the coatings
- File the test result and waste note
- Keep pets away
Things not to do
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
