Your questions about Artex removal in Sandwich
Is the Artex in my Sandwich home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Sandwich and the area around Sandwich station?
Yes, we cover Sandwich, including the streets around Sandwich station.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you cover Sandwich?
Yes, we do: our area includes Sandwich and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Your options compared
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
Keeping things safe:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Photos help us quote
What to avoid
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
What we deal with in Sandwich
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.
Typical jobs in Sandwich include:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Loft conversions and extensions
A school like Sandwich Infant School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
What to look for in a quote
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- What category of work it is
- What is not included
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
