Questions from Goddington
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is the Artex in my Goddington home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work in Goddington?
Yes, Goddington is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
After we’ve finished in Goddington
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos help us quote
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Test every different coating
- Keep the results and paperwork
Don’ts
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

Helpful guides
What we deal with in Goddington
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Rented flats before redecoration
If you’re refurbishing flats near Chelsfield station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
Before booking anyone

- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What paperwork you get
- Which laboratory analyses samples
