Common questions in Stone in Oxney
Do textured ceilings in Stone in Oxney homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Stone in Oxney and the area around Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes, we cover Stone in Oxney and the area towards Appledore (Kent) station, about 2.5 miles north-east.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.

Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
