About our artex removal in Lullingstone
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Lullingstone, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and walls before tiling.
Village homes like those in Lullingstone have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Keeping things safe:
- Keep pets away

What to avoid
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Coatings already disturbed
- Coatings damaged by leaks
If you are refurbishing flats near Eynsford station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Any exclusions
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
