Artex removal in Mundy Bois
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Mundy Bois, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. From coatings in the way of electrical work and loft conversions and extensions, we cover coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings and more.
Village homes like those in Mundy Bois have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Mundy Bois questions
Do textured ceilings in Mundy Bois homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Could my house in Mundy Bois contain asbestos?
If your home in Mundy Bois was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

Artex in Mundy Bois homes
Mundy Bois is about 7 miles north-west of Ashford, in Kent. Mundy Bois has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Mundy Bois is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we work. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 17 miles away.
A school like Egerton Church of England Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start. If you are refurbishing a rental near Pluckley station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings. Parts of the Kent Downs National Landscape are within about 7 miles of Mundy Bois; cottages and farmhouses nearby can have textured coatings too.
We handle Artex jobs in every part of TN27 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Munday Bois Road, Kingsland Lane and Greenhill Lane, and Artex removal is available on all of them. Other places close to Mundy Bois we cover include Newland Green (1 mile west), Egerton Forstal (1 mile west), Egerton (1 mile north), Potter's Forstal (1 mile north-west) and Pluckley Thorne (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cover Maidstone (10 miles north-west), Ashford (7 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (11 miles north), Faversham (12 miles north-east), Kings Hill (15 miles north-west) and Davington (12 miles north-east).

Choosing the right option
A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us
- No removal until we know what it is
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Reports and results you can share

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We need the room cleared
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Coated plasterboard
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
Why people call us in Mundy Bois
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings before plastering
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings before downlights go in
If your home is one of the older properties in Mundy Bois, near Church of St James or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Mundy Bois must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
