Common questions in Bridge
Do you come out to small villages like Bridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is the Artex in my Bridge home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Artex removal in Bridge
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include structural work through coated ceilings and loft conversions, including coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Bridge have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Looking after things afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- File the test result and waste note
- Photos help us quote
- Keep pets away
Things not to do
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, 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.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Bridge, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
A closer look at the materials
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.

If you are refurbishing a rental near Bekesbourne station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

Bridge is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and older rural homes there often have textured ceilings from past renovations.

How we price Artex removal
What changes the cost:
- The survey scope
- The category of work

A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- An overall view

- Labels, if any
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Every job is quoted in writing. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details.
Why people call us in Bridge
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings before plastering
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Damaged or cracked coatings
If your home is one of the older properties in Bridge, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Weighing up your options
Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
