Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Artex removal for Highbrook properties
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Common materials are textured walls, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard, and people usually contact us about loft conversions and ceilings before downlights go in.
In towns and villages like Highbrook, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Typical Artex jobs in Highbrook
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, which can make them crumble.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
For rented flats close to Balcombe station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Choosing the right option
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- No removal until we know what it is
- Across London and the South East
