Artex removal in Margate

Anyone living or working in Margate will know the place well: Margate is a traditional seaside town on the Isle of Thanet whose sandy beaches, Old Town and arts scene have driven regeneration and an influx of creative residents. We work right across it, from Westbrook and Garlinge.

If you are looking for Artex removal in Margate, we can help. We work with homeowners, landlords, letting agents and property developers throughout Kent, and every job is given a fixed price first so you know exactly where you stand.

Our Margate jobs cover Victorian terraces, converted seafront flats and inter-war bungalows. Every property brings its own access and timing considerations, which is why we price from the details you send.

Does Artex contain asbestos?

It can. Textured coatings such as Artex had small amounts of chrysotile (white asbestos) added until the mid-1980s, and asbestos use was fully banned in the UK in 1999. Any textured coating applied before 2000 should be tested before it is disturbed. Many coatings test negative, but you cannot tell by looking.
