Asbestos help in Stonehill Green
Artex removal near Stonehill Green
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. From coatings already disturbed and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, we cover Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard and more.
Rural homes near Stonehill Green have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Stonehill Green questions
Do textured ceilings in Stonehill Green homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Stonehill Green and the area around Swanley station?
Yes. Swanley station is about 1.4 miles south of Stonehill Green, and we cover both.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
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.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Choosing the right option
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
