How artex removal works in Potter's Green
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Potter's Green. People often contact us about coatings already disturbed and walls before tiling, including stipple finishes, textured walls and Artex ceilings.
In areas like Potter's Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

What happens next
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Photos help us quote
- Keep pets away
- Plan around the closed rooms
Things not to do
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Potter's Green: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos common in Potter's Green homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How it works
Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, for disposal at a permitted site. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Potter's Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
