Artex removal in Stonebridge Green
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Stonebridge Green, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Whether it’s damaged or cracked coatings and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, we deal with swirl patterns, textured walls and Artex ceilings.
In towns and villages like Stonebridge Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

FAQs for Stonebridge Green
How far is Stonebridge Green from London?
We cover Stonebridge Green, about 41 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Materials we deal with
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
