Artex removal near Deerton Street
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Common materials are swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are rented flats before redecoration and extensions that cut into ceilings.
In a village like Deerton Street, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What we deal with in Deerton Street
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
If you are refurbishing a rental near Teynham station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Materials, one by one
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
After we’ve finished in Deerton Street
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Photos help us quote
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Empty the rooms in advance
Avoid these
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- We need the room cleared
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
