Questions from Sevington
Do you come out to small villages like Sevington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do textured ceilings in Sevington homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The size of the job
- Disposal costs
- How many samples are needed
- The type of material and its condition
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Labels, if any
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Where we could park

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Sevington
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Rented flats before redecoration
If you’re refurbishing flats near Ashford International station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Artex in Sevington homes
Sevington is about 2 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. Wherever your property is in Sevington, tell us the postcode and what you need, and we will quote. We work in all 922 towns and villages in Kent. We work right across the region, from Sevington to Canterbury (13 miles away).
If your home is one of the older properties in Sevington, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation. Non-domestic buildings like Willesborough Junior School should already have records of any textured coatings. Parts of the Kent Downs National Landscape are within about 5 miles of Sevington, and older rural homes there often have textured ceilings from past renovations.
Artex jobs anywhere in TN24 and TN25 start with the postcode and some photos. Whether your property is on Church Road, Bad Munstereifel Road and Highfield Lane or a nearby road, we can help.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Sevington must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- 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 before you book.
What we deal with
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
Choosing the right option
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
