Textured ceilings in Woodside Green
Woodside Green is about 6 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Properties in Woodside Green range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Woodside Green is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We work right across the region, from Woodside Green to Canterbury (about 15 miles away).
A school like The Lenham School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested. For rented flats close to Lenham station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty. Parts of the Kent Downs National Landscape are within about 4 miles of Woodside Green, and older rural homes there often have textured ceilings from past renovations.

Woodside Green: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Woodside Green homes?
If your home in Woodside Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Woodside Green and the area around Lenham station?
Yes. Lenham station is about 1.5 miles south-west of Woodside Green, and we cover both.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Usually not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Where asbestos turns up
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Loft conversions
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
If your home is one of the older properties in Woodside Green, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
What your quote should include
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What paperwork you get
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof

After the job
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
Staying safe afterwards:
- File the test result and waste note
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep pets away
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
Avoid these
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
