About artex removal in CT10
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. People often contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and walls before tiling, involving textured walls, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Cost
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Clear written quotes
- Records for your files
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Domestic and commercial work

Artex removal in CT10
Textured ceilings turn up in homes across CT10, from Margate, Ramsgate and Broadstairs to 1 villages and hamlets. Testing comes first, wherever you are. 10 of the places we cover in CT10 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.
Broadstairs: If you’re refurbishing flats near Broadstairs station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies. Non-domestic buildings like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in CT10
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings before plastering
- Ceilings coming down
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- Parking and access charges
- How much waste there is
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Where we could park
- Cracks or breaks
- A rough size or measurement
- A close-up from a safe distance
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
Your questions about Artex removal in CT10
Do you cover CT10?
We do: CT10 is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will explain the options.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
