Hadlow Down questions
Do you cover Hadlow Down from London?
We cover Hadlow Down, about 37 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Hadlow Down home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Normally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
What happens next
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
Keeping things safe:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Keep pets out of the work area
- File the test result and waste note
What to avoid
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
