Artex removal near Lambs Green
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Lambs Green, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. People often contact us about ceilings due for plastering or skimming and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, including stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Lambs Green have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Lambs Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
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.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We need the room cleared
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Questions from Lambs Green
Do you work near Faygate station?
Yes, we cover Lambs Green and the area towards Faygate station, about 1.4 miles south.
Do older homes in Lambs Green have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Lambs Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is my textured ceiling in Lambs Green asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
After we’ve finished in Lambs Green
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Give us room sizes
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Keep the results and paperwork
Don’ts
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
