Artex removal in Biddenden
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. We often deal with Artex ceilings, textured walls and swirl patterns, and people normally contact us about coatings damaged by DIY and flaking textured ceilings.
In areas like Biddenden, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

FAQs for Biddenden
Do you cover small places like Biddenden?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Biddenden 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 Biddenden can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work in Biddenden?
Yes, Biddenden is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
