How artex removal works in Street End
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. From rented flats before redecoration and coatings in the way of electrical work, we deal with stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard and more.
Rural homes near Street End have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Street End: your questions answered
Do you work near Canterbury East station?
Yes, we cover Street End and the area towards Canterbury East station, about 2.1 miles north.
Do textured ceilings in Street End homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- How easy it is to reach
- How many samples are needed

What we deal with in Street End
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings before downlights go in
In older homes in Street End, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab

- Whether VAT is included
- The documents you’ll receive
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What happens next
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Photos help us quote
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Don’ts
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
