Afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
Things not to do
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Choosing the right option
A test before removal can save money: a clear result means normal methods. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Covering London and the South East
See our prices page and published price ranges.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Common questions in Blendworth
Do you cover Blendworth from London?
Blendworth is about 56 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do textured ceilings in Blendworth homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you cover Blendworth?
We do: Blendworth is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will explain the options.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How it works
We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.

- We sample each different coating for testing
- We go through the options and send a quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
