Artex removal near Great Kingshill
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Artex removal in Great Kingshill
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Whether it’s ceilings due for plastering or skimming and coatings scraped during DIY, we cover Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Great Kingshill have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Great Kingshill questions
Could my house in Great Kingshill contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Great Kingshill home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
How much does Artex removal cost in Great Kingshill?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
