Asbestos help in Aston Tirrold
For businesses and landlords in Aston Tirrold
If you run a business from older premises in Aston Tirrold, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Artex removal for Aston Tirrold properties
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Aston Tirrold. Common materials are coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and textured walls, and people typically contact us about walls before tiling and ceilings due for plastering or skimming.
Village homes like those in Aston Tirrold have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

How we price Artex removal
What changes the cost:
- Travel and parking
- The category of work
- How many samples are needed
- The type of material and its condition
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The access route
- A picture of the whole area
- Approximate dimensions
- A clear close-up
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 to get started.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Choosing the right option
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Aston Tirrold questions
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do textured ceilings in Aston Tirrold homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll recommend one for each room.
Do you cover Aston Tirrold?
Yes, we do: our area includes Aston Tirrold and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
