Artex removal in Sheet Hill
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Whether it’s ceilings before skimming and coatings damaged by DIY, we deal with textured walls, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings.
In a village like Sheet Hill, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
A few practical points:
- Give us room sizes
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Test every different coating
Don’ts
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Travel and parking
- Disposal costs
- How many samples are needed
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Sending photos

Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
In older properties, we often see:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Textured walls before a refit
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
For rented flats close to Borough Green & Wrotham station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
Before booking anyone
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
How it works
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Getting ready
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Sheet Hill questions
How far is Sheet Hill from London?
Sheet Hill is about 23 miles from central London, well within our area.
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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.

Yes, we do: our area includes Sheet Hill and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
