About our artex removal in Sandwich Bay Estate
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Sandwich Bay Estate. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and textured walls, and people usually contact us about extensions that cut into ceilings and rented flats before redecoration.
Rural homes near Sandwich Bay Estate have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

After we have finished:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Photos help us quote
What to avoid
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What we deal with in Sandwich Bay Estate
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings before plastering
- Textured walls before a refit
For a school such as Sir Roger Manwood's School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Do you cover Sandwich Bay Estate from London?
