About our artex removal in Stone Hill
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Stone Hill. Typical jobs include damaged or cracked coatings and ceilings coming down, including coated plasterboard, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Stone Hill have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

FAQs for Stone Hill
Do you cover Stone Hill and the area around Westenhanger station?
Yes. Westenhanger station is about 2.4 miles south-east of Stone Hill, and we cover both.
Could my house in Stone Hill contain asbestos?
If your home in Stone Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you run a business from older premises in Stone Hill, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
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.
In older properties, we often see:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
In older homes in Stone Hill, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

What else we do in Stone Hill
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Which option is right?
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is usually better. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
