About our artex removal in Grove Green
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical jobs include walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and damaged or cracked coatings, including textured walls, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
Homes in towns and villages like Grove Green may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so test each different coating. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Grove Green: your questions answered
Do you work near Bearsted station?
Yes, we cover Grove Green and the area towards Bearsted station, about 1.3 miles south-east.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
For businesses and landlords in Grove Green
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Choosing the right option
You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
