About our artex removal in Bexon
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated ceiling roses, and people typically contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and flaking textured ceilings.
In a village like Bexon, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Options to consider in Bexon
A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask about the method and the waste. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why us?
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- No removal until we know what it is
- Covering London and the South East
- Reports and results you can share
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Disposal costs
- The category of work
- How much there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Damaged areas
- Visible markings
- An overall view
- The parking area
For a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What’s included, and what is not
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns

After the job
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
Going forward:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Give us room sizes
- Each different coating needs testing
Don’ts
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Step by step
We bag and label the waste as we work, then taken to a permitted site. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We test a sample of each coating
- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove
- We carry out the removal
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit

- Let us know if something’s broken
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

FAQs for Bexon
Could my house in Bexon contain asbestos?
If your home in Bexon 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 Bexon and the area around Sittingbourne station?
Yes. Sittingbourne station is about 2.9 miles north of Bexon, and we cover both.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Where asbestos turns up
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
In older properties, we often see:
- Ceilings coming down
- Loft conversions
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings before plastering
A school like Bredgar Church of England Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
