What we do and don’t cover
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- 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
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Common questions in Alfold Crossways
Could my house in Alfold Crossways contain asbestos?
Any home in Alfold Crossways built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Alfold Crossways?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
How much does Artex removal cost in Alfold Crossways?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
