Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Send photos of the coatings
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets out of the work area
What to avoid
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Adisham questions
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my house in Adisham contain asbestos?
Any home in Adisham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.

Typical Artex jobs in Adisham
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings before plastering
If your home is one of the older properties in Adisham, near Church of the Holy Innocents or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
