Artex removal for Hassell Street properties
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Hassell Street. Whether it’s coatings damaged by DIY and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we cover coated plasterboard, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Hassell Street have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

After we have finished in Hassell Street
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Give us room sizes
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Each different coating needs testing
- Book your plasterer after removal
Don’ts
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Where asbestos turns up
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Walls before tiling
Non-domestic buildings like Wye School should already have records of any textured coatings.

Hassell Street: your questions answered
Do textured ceilings in Hassell Street homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
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.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
