Artex removal in Grange
Artex removal for Grange properties
If your renovation in Grange involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. We often deal with swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are ceilings due for plastering or skimming and structural work through coated ceilings.
In a village like Grange, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We only recommend work that is needed.

Materials, one by one
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We need the room cleared
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Grange
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings coming down
- Textured walls before a refit
If you are refurbishing a rental near Gillingham (Kent) station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
What to look for in a quote
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- What isn’t included
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
For businesses and landlords in Grange
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Grange, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Choosing the right option
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why choose us
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Houses, flats and business premises

What affects the price in Grange
Quotes vary because of:
- Access to the area
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The quantity or area
- What the material is and its state
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- A clear close-up
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A rough size or measurement
- The access route

Grange questions
Do you work near Gillingham (Kent) station?
Yes. Gillingham (Kent) station is about 1.3 miles west of Grange, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Grange?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
