Your questions about Artex removal in Pedlinge
Do you cover small places like Pedlinge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What we deal with in Pedlinge
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Flaking textured ceilings
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Sandling station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
What your quote should include
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The documents you will receive
- If the price includes VAT
Materials we deal with
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
Looking after things afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
To avoid problems in future:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets away
- Give us room sizes
- Photos help us quote
Don’ts
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
The scope of Artex removal
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- We need the room cleared
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
