Where asbestos turns up
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Landlord refurbishments
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
Non-domestic buildings like Allhallows Primary Academy should already have records of any textured coatings.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed

How we price Artex removal
These are the main things that affect the price of Artex removal:
- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Cracks or breaks
- A rough size or measurement
- An overall view
- The parking area
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Allhallows-on-Sea, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Common materials

Allhallows-on-Sea questions
Is asbestos common in Allhallows-on-Sea homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Allhallows-on-Sea from London?
We cover Allhallows-on-Sea, about 32 miles from central London.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise for each room.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Typically not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
