Artex removal near Nonington
Artex removal for Nonington properties
Planning a renovation in Nonington with textured ceilings? Test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Typical jobs include walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and ceilings before skimming, involving stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in Nonington have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:

- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
Where asbestos turns up
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Landlord refurbishments
If you’re refurbishing flats near Aylesham station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
Questions to ask before you book
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What is not included
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
What it might be made of
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Weighing up your options
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is normally best. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
