Where asbestos turns up
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings damaged by DIY
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Sandwich station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Your questions about Artex removal in Finglesham
Do you cover Finglesham from London?
Finglesham is about 65 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do textured ceilings in Finglesham homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
How much does Artex removal cost in Finglesham?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
How it works
We bag and label the waste as we work, for disposal at a permitted site. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- The coating is removed with controls

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
