About our artex removal in Chilmington Green
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include loft conversions and extensions and damaged or cracked coatings, involving swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
In a village like Chilmington Green, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

FAQs for Chilmington Green
Could my house in Chilmington Green contain asbestos?
If your home in Chilmington Green 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.

What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings coming down
- Ceilings before plastering
For rented flats close to Ashford International station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
What your quote should include
