Common questions in Best Beech Hill
Is the Artex in my Best Beech Hill home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Best Beech Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
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?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is my textured ceiling in Best Beech Hill asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
