About our artex removal in Pegwell
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in Pegwell. From structural work through coated ceilings and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we deal with textured walls, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses and more.
Village homes like those in Pegwell have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Why people call us in Pegwell
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings before skimming
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Damaged or cracked coatings
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Ramsgate station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
After the job
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Photos help us quote
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Each different coating needs testing
What to avoid
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
