Artex removal for Stodmarsh properties
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Stodmarsh. Typical jobs include walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and coatings in the way of electrical work, involving stipple finishes, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
In a village like Stodmarsh, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Stodmarsh questions
Do older homes in Stodmarsh have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Stodmarsh and the area around Sturry station?
Yes, we cover Stodmarsh and the area towards Sturry station, about 2.6 miles west.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll explain the options.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
