How artex removal works in Kent Street
If your renovation in Kent Street involves textured ceilings, test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. From ceilings due for plastering or skimming and ceilings coming down, we deal with stipple finishes, textured walls and coated plasterboard and more.
Village homes like those in Kent Street have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Questions from Kent Street
Could my house in Kent Street contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Kent Street can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Kent Street and the area around Battle station?
Yes. Battle station is about 2.2 miles west of Kent Street, and we cover both.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you cover Kent Street?
Yes, we do: Kent Street is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
