Artex removal in Puddledock
How artex removal works in Puddledock
If your renovation in Puddledock involves textured ceilings, test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Common materials are Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard, and people typically contact us about ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and damaged or cracked coatings.
Ceilings in Puddledock conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

FAQs for Puddledock
Do you work near Edenbridge station?
Yes, we cover Puddledock and the area towards Edenbridge station, about 2.5 miles south-west.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Do you cover Puddledock?
Yes, Puddledock is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Typical Artex jobs in Puddledock
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
