Artex removal near Marden's Hill
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Marden's Hill. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and swirl patterns, and people usually contact us about ceilings coming down and extensions that cut into ceilings.
Rural homes near Marden's Hill have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Questions from Marden's Hill
Could my house in Marden's Hill contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Marden's Hill may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
