Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
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.
Choosing the right option
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Questions from Burroughs Grove
Do you come out to small villages like Burroughs Grove?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Burroughs Grove and the area around Marlow station?
Yes, we cover Burroughs Grove and the area towards Marlow station, about 1.5 miles south.
Do you work in Burroughs Grove?

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Burroughs Grove
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Landlord refurbishments
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
A school like Burford School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

- Whether VAT is included
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The method and controls
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- How much waste there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much there is
- How many samples are needed
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A rough size or measurement
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An overall view
Include any existing survey or test when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
