Chisbridge Cross: your questions answered
Do you work near Marlow station?
Yes. Marlow station is about 2.9 miles south-east of Chisbridge Cross, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How much does Artex removal cost in Chisbridge Cross?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Generally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
What happens next
File the result and the paperwork.
After we’ve finished:
- File the test result and waste note
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Test every different coating
- Send photos of the coatings
Don’ts
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
How we work
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, never sanded or scraped dry. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there is no confusion.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
