Artex removal near South Street
Questions from South Street
Do you cover small places like South Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is South Street from London?
We cover South Street, about 22 miles from central London.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you work in South Street?
Yes. We cover South Street and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Artex removal in South Street
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 coatings already disturbed and rented flats before redecoration, we cover stipple finishes, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
Rural homes near South Street have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in South Street
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Loft conversions and extensions
Non-domestic buildings like Culverstone Green Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

Duty holders and landlords in South Street
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in South Street, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If your business premises in South Street were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Which option is right?
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
