Asbestos help in Robertsbridge
How artex removal works in Robertsbridge
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. People often contact us about ceilings due for plastering or skimming and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, including swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
Rural homes near Robertsbridge have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Where asbestos turns up
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Ceilings coming down
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Landlord refurbishments
If you are refurbishing a rental near Robertsbridge station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
Weighing up your options
You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Duty holders and landlords in Robertsbridge

Questions from Robertsbridge
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Robertsbridge have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Robertsbridge may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
