How artex removal works in Northfleet
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. People often contact us about ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, involving coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and textured walls.
In towns like Northfleet, plenty of homes from the 1960s to 1990s have textured ceilings, though older homes may have them too. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Why people call us in Northfleet
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
Typical jobs in Northfleet include:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Damaged or cracked coatings
A school like Northfleet Technology College should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Your questions about Artex removal in Northfleet
Do you cover Northfleet and the area around Gravesend station?
Yes, we cover Northfleet and the area towards Gravesend station, about 1 mile north-east.
Is the Artex in my Northfleet home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you work in Northfleet?
Yes. We cover Northfleet and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Looking after things afterwards
File the result and the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Test every different coating
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Empty the rooms in advance
Avoid these
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

Your options compared
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Work done to the regulations
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
Read how we price jobs or the cost guide.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
