Choosing the right option
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Covering London and the South East
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

For businesses and landlords in Boarhunt
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Boarhunt must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Boarhunt: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Boarhunt?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Boarhunt from London?
We cover Boarhunt, about 63 miles from central London.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

What happens next
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
A few practical points:
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep pets away
What to avoid
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
