Artex removal in Lyminge
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. From walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, we cover textured walls, stipple finishes and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in Lyminge have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What we deal with in Lyminge

Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Loft conversions
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed

Duty holders and landlords in Lyminge
For managing agents and freeholders in Lyminge, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
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.

Common questions in Lyminge
Do you come out to small villages like Lyminge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Lyminge from London?
Lyminge is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
What we do and don’t cover
So you know what to expect:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
