Can I do it myself?

What we deal with in Addlestone
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
These come up again and again:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Coatings already disturbed
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings before downlights go in
For a school such as Darley Dene Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Whether the job needs notifying

Your questions about Artex removal in Addlestone
How far is Addlestone from London?
Addlestone is about 19 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Addlestone contain asbestos?
If your home in Addlestone was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What we do and do not cover
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it does not:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
