About our artex removal in Green Street Green
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. Typical jobs include ceilings before downlights go in and loft conversions, involving coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Green Street Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Green Street Green: your questions answered
Could my house in Green Street Green contain asbestos?
Any home in Green Street Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Green Street Green and the area around Longfield station?
Yes. Longfield station is about 1.5 miles south-east of Green Street Green, and we cover both.
Do you work in Green Street Green?
Yes, we do: Green Street Green is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. A test will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What happens next
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:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets away
What to avoid
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Green Street Green
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Textured walls before a refit
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings before plastering
Non-domestic buildings like Greenlands Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
Comparing quotes
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

- VAT, clearly stated
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
