DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Artex removal in Church End
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. From ceilings before skimming and coatings scraped during DIY, we deal with swirl patterns, textured walls and coated plasterboard.
In towns and villages like Church End, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

FAQs for Church End
Do you cover Church End from London?
We cover Church End, about 43 miles from central London.
Could my house in Church End contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Do you cover Church End?
Yes. We cover Church End and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.

We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We sample each coating
