Why people call us in Plumpton Green
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings before skimming
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
Non-domestic buildings like Plumpton Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

Options to consider in Plumpton Green
What are the options for Artex? 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 usually best. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
How we work in Plumpton Green

Plumpton Green questions
Do textured ceilings in Plumpton Green homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work near Plumpton station?
Yes. Plumpton station is close to the centre of Plumpton Green, and we cover the whole area.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll recommend one for each room.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Normally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you manage or own a block in Plumpton Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
