Artex removal for South Green
Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is usually better. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Clear advice on your options
- Reports and results you can share
- Across London and the South East

Artex removal in South Green
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 coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and textured walls.
Rural homes near South Green have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Materials, one by one
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.

What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately

South Green questions
Do you cover South Green from London?
We cover South Green, about 35 miles from central London.
Do older homes in South Green have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in South Green may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is my textured ceiling in South Green asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise for each room.
Do you work in South Green?
Yes, we do: South Green is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.

If you run a business from older premises in South Green, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
