Asbestos help in Wartling
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
How artex removal works in Wartling
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Wartling. We often deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are ceilings before downlights go in and ceilings coming down.
In places like Wartling, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

For rented flats close to Normans Bay station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time

Questions from Wartling
Do older homes in Wartling have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Wartling may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Normans Bay station?
Yes, we cover Wartling and the area towards Normans Bay station, about 2.7 miles south-east.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
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 involved in the job.
Do you work in Wartling?
We do: our area includes Wartling and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
