Artex removal for Turners Hill properties
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in Turners Hill. Typical jobs include coatings already disturbed and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, including swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and textured walls.
Rural homes near Turners Hill have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Your questions about Artex removal in Turners Hill
Do you cover Turners Hill and the area around East Grinstead station?
Yes. East Grinstead station is about 3.3 miles north-east of Turners Hill, and we cover both.
Could my house in Turners Hill contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Turners Hill may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
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.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Usually you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll explain the options.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Turners Hill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Looking after things afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
To avoid problems in future:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Give us room sizes
- Keep the results and paperwork
Don’ts
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
