Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in Aspley Heath. We often deal with swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes, and people generally contact us about coatings already disturbed and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
In a village like Aspley Heath, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Aspley Heath: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Aspley Heath?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Aspley Heath homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
