Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Artex removal for Holly Green properties
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. Whether it’s rented homes refurbished between tenants and damaged or cracked coatings, we cover swirl patterns, textured walls and Artex ceilings and more.
In areas like Holly Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Holly Green: your questions answered
Do older homes in Holly Green have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Holly Green may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Holly Green homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
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.
Is my textured ceiling in Holly Green asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Afterwards
The surface is left ready for making good.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Give us room sizes
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Photos help us quote
Avoid these
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Options to consider in Holly Green
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What you get
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

What it might be made of
Patched areas

Artex ceilings

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
