Cliffe Woods questions
Do you work near Higham station?
Yes. Higham station is about 1.5 miles west of Cliffe Woods, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Cliffe Woods homes?
If your home in Cliffe Woods was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How much does Artex removal cost in Cliffe Woods?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.

Why people call us in Cliffe Woods
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings before plastering
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
For a school such as Cliffe Woods Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.

Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
