Artex removal for Aylesford properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Whether it’s ceilings coming down and coatings scraped during DIY, we cover textured walls, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
Homes in places like Aylesford may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so test each different coating. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Common questions in Aylesford
Do you cover Aylesford from London?
Aylesford is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Aylesford and the area around Aylesford station?
Yes, we cover Aylesford, including the streets around Aylesford station.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The category of work
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The type of material and its condition
- The survey scope
The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- A clear close-up
- Street parking nearby
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Approximate dimensions
Every job is quoted in writing. Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
What’s included, and what is not
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
After the job
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Some practical advice:
- File the test result and waste note
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Avoid these
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
