Artex removal in New Street
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in New Street. Whether it’s ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and walls before tiling, we cover textured walls, stipple finishes and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in New Street have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Artex in New Street homes
New Street is about 6 miles south of Northfleet, in Kent. New Street has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. New Street is one of 922 places in Kent where we work. Our nearest city page is London, about 21 miles away.
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Meopham station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty. For a school such as Culverstone Green Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings. New Street is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; cottages and farmhouses nearby can have textured coatings too.

Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in New Street, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What we deal with in New Street
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings before plastering
- Ceilings before downlights go in
Older homes across New Street may have coatings added during past renovations.
What to look for in a quote
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

- How fibres will be kept down
- If the price includes VAT
What’s included, and what is not
The usual limits are:

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Common questions in New Street
Do you cover small places like New Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do textured ceilings in New Street homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
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.
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.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
