Artex removal near Woolpack Corner
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. People often contact us about walls before tiling and rented homes refurbished between tenants, involving Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated plasterboard.
Rural homes near Woolpack Corner have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Questions from Woolpack Corner
Do textured ceilings in Woolpack Corner homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Woolpack Corner and the area around Headcorn station?
Yes. Headcorn station is about 4.4 miles north of Woolpack Corner, and we cover both.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
After the job
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
To avoid problems in future:
- Give us room sizes
- Keep pets away
- File the test result and waste note
- Each different coating needs testing
Avoid these
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.

Choosing the right option
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
