Artex removal near Burstow
How artex removal works in Burstow
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. People often contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and loft conversions, involving swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
In a village like Burstow, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Questions from Burstow
Could my house in Burstow contain asbestos?
Any home in Burstow built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Burstow?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Usually you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.

For businesses and landlords in Burstow
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

A closer look at the materials
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Which option is right?
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Reports and results you can share
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Work done to the regulations
See our prices page or our cost guide.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
