Artex removal in Bladon

Village homes like those in Bladon have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The size of the job
- Disposal costs
- Access to the area
- The category of work
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
After the job
File the result and the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep pets away
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Each different coating needs testing
Things not to do
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.

FAQs for Bladon
Do you work near Hanborough station?
Yes. Hanborough station is about 1 mile west of Bladon, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Bladon?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
