Artex removal for Wingham Green properties
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. People often contact us about landlord refurbishments and ceilings coming down, involving coated plasterboard, textured walls and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in Wingham Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Wingham Green questions
Do you come out to small villages like Wingham Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is the Artex in my Wingham Green home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Looking after things afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- File the test result and waste note
- Give us room sizes
- Each different coating needs testing
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
Things not to do
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Why people call us in Wingham Green
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
Non-domestic buildings like Wingham Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
