About our artex removal in Rowsham
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Rowsham. Typical materials include stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are loft conversions and textured walls before a refit.
Rural homes near Rowsham have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

FAQs for Rowsham
Do you come out to small villages like Rowsham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Rowsham homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Rowsham can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
