Artex removal for Goodnestone properties
If your renovation in Goodnestone involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. From coatings damaged by DIY and ceilings coming down, we cover coated ceiling roses, textured walls and Artex ceilings and more.
Rural homes near Goodnestone have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Goodnestone
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings before plastering
- Walls before tiling
For a school such as Goodnestone Church of England Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.

What else we do in Goodnestone
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
How it works
We bag and label the waste as we work, then taken to a permitted site. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Clear the way to the work area

Goodnestone: your questions answered
Is the Artex in my Goodnestone home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Goodnestone and the area around Adisham station?
Yes, we cover Goodnestone and the area towards Adisham station, about 1.5 miles west.
Do you work in Goodnestone?
Yes. We cover Goodnestone and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The type of material and its condition
- The survey scope
- The category of work
- Parking and access charges
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- An idea of size
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Cracks or breaks
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Photos help us quote
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Book your plasterer after removal
- File the test result and waste note
Don’ts
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
