FAQs for Jenkins' Green
Do you cover Jenkins' Green and the area around Pevensey & Westham station?
Yes. Pevensey & Westham station is about 1.1 miles south-east of Jenkins' Green, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Jenkins' Green homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.

Yes, we do: Jenkins' Green is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?

Weighing up your options
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best.
