Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Rodmersham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Which option is right?
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is generally better. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Rodmersham questions
Do you cover small places like Rodmersham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Rodmersham and the area around Sittingbourne station?
Yes, we cover Rodmersham and the area towards Sittingbourne station, about 1.8 miles north-west.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Is my textured ceiling in Rodmersham asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
