Do you work near Gomshall station?
Yes. Gomshall station is about 2.4 miles north-west of Abinger Common, and we cover both.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll recommend one for each room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
