Queenborough: If you are refurbishing a rental near Queenborough station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty. In older homes in Queenborough, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Materials we deal with
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which does not change what’s underneath.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you run a business from older premises in ME11, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
- Test every different coating
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Test before the builders arrive.

ME11 questions
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
How can I get a price?
Just 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.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
