Artex removal near Northfleet Green
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. From rented flats before redecoration and damaged or cracked coatings, we deal with stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns and more.
Village homes like those in Northfleet Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Northfleet Green questions
Do you cover Northfleet Green from London?
We cover Northfleet Green, about 19 miles from central London.
Do textured ceilings in Northfleet Green homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Is my textured ceiling in Northfleet Green asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Do you work in Northfleet Green?
Yes, we do: our area includes Northfleet Green and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
