Bagnor questions
Could my house in Bagnor contain asbestos?
If your home in Bagnor was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Bagnor homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
How much does Artex removal cost in Bagnor?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
