Artex removal in Burgh Heath
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Burgh Heath, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical jobs include ceilings before downlights go in and loft conversions, involving stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and textured walls.
In a village like Burgh Heath, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What else we do in Burgh Heath
Which option is right?
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is generally better. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Questions from Burgh Heath
Do you cover Burgh Heath from London?
Burgh Heath is about 14 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Burgh Heath?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. 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.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How it works
For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.

Things not to do
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
