Do you work near Aylesford station?
Yes. Aylesford station is about 2.3 miles south-west of Kit's Coty, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in Kit's Coty homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Is my textured ceiling in Kit's Coty asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
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.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Kit's Coty, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Typical Artex jobs in Kit's Coty
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
These come up again and again:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
Non-domestic buildings like Tunbury Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.
