Artex removal near Kentsboro
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Kentsboro. Typical jobs include damaged or cracked coatings and rented homes refurbished between tenants, including coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and swirl patterns.
Rural homes near Kentsboro have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Questions from Kentsboro
Do you work near Grateley station?
Yes, we cover Kentsboro and the area towards Grateley station, about 2.6 miles west.
How far is Kentsboro from London?
Kentsboro is about 68 miles from central London, well within our area.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll advise room by room.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
