Charney Bassett: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Charney Bassett?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is the Artex in my Charney Bassett home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your trades.

- Send photos of the coatings

- Book your plasterer after removal
What to avoid
