About our artex removal in Stalisfield
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Common materials are coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and swirl patterns, and people generally contact us about ceilings before plastering and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
Village homes like those in Stalisfield have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Labels, if any
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Street parking nearby
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Stalisfield, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What it might be made of
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
After the job
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Keep pets away
- Send photos of the coatings
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Things not to do
Test before the builders arrive.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

Stalisfield: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Stalisfield homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Stalisfield?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
How much does Artex removal cost in Stalisfield?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
