Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Questions from Ardleigh Green
Do older homes in Ardleigh Green have asbestos?
Any home in Ardleigh Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Ardleigh Green despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Normally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

Typical Artex jobs in Ardleigh Green
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Loft conversions and extensions
If your home is one of the older properties in Ardleigh Green, near All Saints or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
