About our artex removal in Rodmersham Green
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Rodmersham Green. Whether it’s flaking textured ceilings and ceilings before downlights go in, we cover coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses and more.
In towns and villages like Rodmersham Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Your questions about Artex removal in Rodmersham Green
Do older homes in Rodmersham Green have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Rodmersham Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
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 you cover Rodmersham Green?
Yes, we do: our area includes Rodmersham Green and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Artex ceilings
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
Why people call us in Rodmersham Green
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
For a school such as Rodmersham School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Options to consider in Rodmersham Green
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is normally best. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
