Artex removal in Flemings
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical jobs include coatings in the way of electrical work and rented flats before redecoration, involving coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings.
Rural homes near Flemings have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Flemings, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Flemings, 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.
The scope of Artex removal
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
What else we do in Flemings

Flemings is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our area stretches from Flemings to Canterbury (9 miles away).
A school like Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested. If you’re refurbishing a rental near Sandwich station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Flemings: your questions answered
Do you cover Flemings and the area around Sandwich station?
Yes. Sandwich station is about 2.8 miles east of Flemings, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Flemings?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How much does Artex removal cost in Flemings?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
