Artex removal near Stonegate
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Whether it’s structural work through coated ceilings and ceilings before skimming, we cover coated ceiling roses, textured walls and swirl patterns and more.
Village homes like those in Stonegate have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Looking after things afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
Going forward:
- Photos help us quote
- Give us room sizes
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
Things not to do
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What’s included, and what is not
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it does not:
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We need the room cleared

Stonegate: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Stonegate from London?
Stonegate is about 38 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Generally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Your options compared
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
