Artex removal near Stunts Green
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Stunts Green were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Artex removal for Stunts Green properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include walls before tiling and coatings scraped during DIY, involving coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard.
Rural homes near Stunts Green have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Stunts Green questions
Is asbestos common in Stunts Green homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
