Your questions about Artex removal in Ascott d'Oyley
Is asbestos common in Ascott d'Oyley homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Ascott d'Oyley and the area around Ascott-Under-Wychwood station?
Yes. Ascott-Under-Wychwood station is about 0.5 miles north of Ascott d'Oyley, and we cover both.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
