FAQs for Coldmoorholme
Do you come out to small villages like Coldmoorholme?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Coldmoorholme from London?
Coldmoorholme is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

What we deal with in Coldmoorholme
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings coming down
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Coatings already disturbed
In older homes in Coldmoorholme, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

Materials, one by one
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Duty holders and landlords in Coldmoorholme
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Weighing up your options
A test before removal can save money: a clear result means normal methods. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- Reports and results you can share
- Domestic and commercial work
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

What it costs
The cost depends on:
- How much waste there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Licensed or non-licensed
- What the material is and its state
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
