Asbestos help in Throwley
Artex removal near Throwley
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include rented homes refurbished between tenants and coatings scraped during DIY, including swirl patterns, stipple finishes and textured walls.
In a village like Throwley, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you run a business from older premises in Throwley, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Throwley
Many trades want a test result first.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings before plastering
- Walls before tiling
If you’re refurbishing flats near Faversham station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
Before booking anyone
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether VAT is included
- The documents you will receive
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Throwley questions
Do you come out to small villages like Throwley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do textured ceilings in Throwley homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
