Artex removal near Yalding
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. Whether it’s ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and damaged or cracked coatings, we cover stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings.
In places like Yalding, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What happens next
The surface is left ready for making good.
Going forward:
- File the test result and waste note
- Give us room sizes
- Keep pets away
- Each different coating needs testing
Don’ts
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.

Questions from Yalding
Do you cover Yalding from London?
Yalding is about 30 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Yalding have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Yalding can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Yalding
