Typical Artex jobs in Cranbrook Common
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
In older properties, we often see:
- Loft conversions
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
If you’re refurbishing flats near Staplehurst station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

About our artex removal in Cranbrook Common
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. People often contact us about textured walls before a refit and loft conversions and extensions, involving textured walls, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
In a village like Cranbrook Common, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Cranbrook Common questions
Do you come out to small villages like Cranbrook Common?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
