How artex removal works in Stalisfield Green

Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. From landlord refurbishments and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, we deal with stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings.

In areas like Stalisfield Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

What happens

If we’re taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum.

  1. Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
  2. Each coating is sampled and tested
  3. We go through the options and send a quote
  4. The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
  5. The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork

How to prepare

  • Tell us about anything that is already damaged
  • Keep away from the material in the meantime
  • Keep children and pets away on the day

Looking after things afterwards

Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.

Going forward:

  • Keep pets out of the work area
  • Give us room sizes
  • Test every different coating
  • Line up the plasterer for afterwards

Things not to do

Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.

Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

Should you do it yourself?

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

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.

Common questions in Stalisfield Green

Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.

Do textured ceilings in Stalisfield Green homes contain asbestos?

Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.

Can you help with a flat?

Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

Can you quote from photos?

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

Should all asbestos be removed?

No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.

Should I take the ceiling down instead?

Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.

Does weather affect the work?

Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

How we price Artex removal

The biggest factors in the price are:

  • The quantity or area
  • Access: height, lofts, steps and space
  • The number of samples or the size of the building
  • Parking and access charges

Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Sending photos

Before you send photos, a few tips:

  • Visible markings
  • An idea of size
  • An overall view
  • The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

What it might be made of

Patched areas

We may sample patches separately.

Painted coatings

Paint often hides the coating, which does not change what’s underneath.

What’s included, and what is not

Worth knowing before booking:

  • We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
  • Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
  • Other materials may need their own approach

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Materials we see

  • Swirl and stipple patterns
  • Patched or painted coatings
  • Coated plasterboard
  • Artex ceilings
  • Textured walls
  • Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
