Asbestos help in Tilmanstone
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
About our artex removal in Tilmanstone
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Whether it’s ceilings before plastering and coatings scraped during DIY, we deal with stipple finishes, textured walls and coated plasterboard and more.
In areas like Tilmanstone, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Tilmanstone
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings before downlights go in
If you’re refurbishing flats near Shepherds Well station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
What your quote should include
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What isn’t included
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- How fibres will be kept down

Common questions in Tilmanstone
Could my house in Tilmanstone contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Tilmanstone from London?
Tilmanstone is about 63 miles from central London, well within our area.
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.
Do you cover Tilmanstone?
Yes, we do: Tilmanstone is within the area we cover in Kent. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll recommend one for each room.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What it might be made of

- Keep the results and paperwork
