Artex removal in Dymchurch
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Whether it’s coatings already disturbed and ceilings coming down, we cover coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
In Dymchurch, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Helpful guides
Your questions about Artex removal in Dymchurch
Do you cover Dymchurch and the area around Westenhanger station?
Yes, we cover Dymchurch and the area towards Westenhanger station, about 4.6 miles north.
Is the Artex in my Dymchurch home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is my textured ceiling in Dymchurch asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Your options compared
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
