Artex removal in Chambers' Green
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Common materials are swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are rented flats before redecoration and walls before tiling.
In places like Chambers' Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Typical Artex jobs in Chambers' Green
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Loft conversions
- Landlord refurbishments
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings coming down
Older homes across Chambers' Green may have coatings added during past renovations.

- Which areas and materials are covered
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Common questions in Chambers' Green
Could my house in Chambers' Green contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Chambers' Green and the area around Pluckley station?
Yes. Pluckley station is close to the centre of Chambers' Green, and we cover the whole area.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
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.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
