How artex removal works in Stoke Charity
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. We often deal with swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are ceilings before downlights go in and coatings already disturbed.
In a village like Stoke Charity, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Duty holders and landlords in Stoke Charity
If your business premises in Stoke Charity were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
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.
Stoke Charity: your questions answered
Do older homes in Stoke Charity have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Stoke Charity from London?
We cover Stoke Charity, about 58 miles from central London.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
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 send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Choosing the right option
A test before removal can save money: a clear result means normal methods. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
After the job
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Each different coating needs testing
Avoid these
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Test before the builders arrive.
