Artex removal in Stuppington
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. From coatings already disturbed and loft conversions and extensions, we deal with swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
In a village like Stuppington, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Stuppington: your questions answered
Do you cover Stuppington from London?
We cover Stuppington, about 53 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
The scope of Artex removal
To be clear about the scope:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date

Common materials

For businesses and landlords in Stuppington

If your business premises in Stuppington were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
