About our artex removal in Brookland
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Brookland. Whether it’s rented homes refurbished between tenants and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we deal with coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard.
Rural homes near Brookland have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
If your business premises in Brookland were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Brookland
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings before skimming
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Loft conversions and extensions
If your home is one of the older properties in Brookland, near St Augustine's Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Brookland: your questions answered
Is the Artex in my Brookland home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Brookland and the area around Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes. Appledore (Kent) station is about 2.5 miles north of Brookland, and we cover both.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We will advise room by room.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
