Artex removal near Aldrington
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. From rented homes refurbished between tenants and coatings damaged by DIY, we cover coated ceiling roses, textured walls and stipple finishes and more.
In Aldrington, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

FAQs for Aldrington
Do textured ceilings in Aldrington homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Could my house in Aldrington contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Aldrington can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Yes, Aldrington is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
