Artex removal for Keeper's Corner
Artex removal for Keeper's Corner properties
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. From flaking textured ceilings and textured walls before a refit, we cover textured walls, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns and more.
Village homes like those in Keeper's Corner have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

What else we do in Keeper's Corner
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Your questions about Artex removal in Keeper's Corner
Is asbestos common in Keeper's Corner homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Gatwick Airport station?
Yes. Gatwick Airport station is about 2.3 miles west of Keeper's Corner, and we cover both.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
