About our artex removal in Boxgrove
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. We often deal with coated plasterboard, textured walls and Artex ceilings, and people generally contact us about ceilings coming down and coatings scraped during DIY.
Rural homes near Boxgrove have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common questions in Boxgrove
Do older homes in Boxgrove have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Boxgrove can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Boxgrove from London?
We cover Boxgrove, about 52 miles from central London.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

What else we do in Boxgrove
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Boxgrove must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
