How artex removal works in Park Farm
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Whether it’s ceilings before skimming and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we deal with textured walls, swirl patterns and stipple finishes.
In a smaller place like Park Farm, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Materials, one by one
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Coated plasterboard
Board removal avoids stripping.
Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- We need the room cleared
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
After the job
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Photos help us quote
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Empty the rooms in advance
Don’ts
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Options to consider in Park Farm
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Park Farm: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is the Artex in my Park Farm home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
