Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? 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 usually better. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Your questions about Artex removal in Sepham Heath
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover small places like Sepham Heath?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Is my textured ceiling in Sepham Heath asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
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.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
