Textured ceilings in Curteis' Corner

Artex removal for Curteis' Corner properties
Planning a renovation in Curteis' Corner with textured ceilings? Get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. From coatings already disturbed and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, we deal with textured walls, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in Curteis' Corner have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Curteis' Corner
Do you work near Headcorn station?
Yes, we cover Curteis' Corner and the area towards Headcorn station, about 2.9 miles north.
Do you cover small places like Curteis' Corner?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Your options compared
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why choose us
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The survey scope
- How much waste there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
