Artex removal in Priestwood
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. People often contact us about ceilings before plastering and loft conversions and extensions, involving swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
In a village like Priestwood, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We only recommend work that is needed.

Your questions about Artex removal in Priestwood
How far is Priestwood from London?
We cover Priestwood, about 22 miles from central London.
Do you cover Priestwood and the area around Sole Street station?
Yes, we cover Priestwood and the area towards Sole Street station, about 1.9 miles north.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What’s the difference between a test and 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.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do you work in Priestwood?
We do: Priestwood is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
The scope of Artex removal
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials in Priestwood
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Materials we deal with
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
