Need Artex removal in Bletchley?

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.

If you run a business from older premises in Bletchley, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Bletchley: your questions answered
Could my house in Bletchley contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bletchley can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is the Artex in my Bletchley home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
