Your questions about Artex removal in Cheeseman's Green
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Cheeseman's Green have asbestos?
If your home in Cheeseman's Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Materials, one by one
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Cheeseman's Green
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
Typical jobs in Cheeseman's Green include:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings before skimming
- Coatings already disturbed
A school like Finberry Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

Afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
Once we’re done:
- File the test result and waste note
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Each different coating needs testing
Avoid these
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
