About our artex removal in Sevenscore
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 Sevenscore. Typical jobs include flaking textured ceilings and extensions that cut into ceilings, involving swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
In a village like Sevenscore, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Common questions in Sevenscore
Do you cover Sevenscore and the area around Thanet Parkway station?
Yes. Thanet Parkway station is about 0.7 miles east of Sevenscore, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Sevenscore homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you cover Sevenscore?
Yes, Sevenscore is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What we do and don’t cover
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Coated plasterboard
Board removal avoids stripping.

What we deal with in Sevenscore
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings before plastering
- Ceilings before downlights go in
In older homes in Sevenscore, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
