Your questions about Artex removal in Colwell
Do textured ceilings in Colwell homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Colwell?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work in Colwell?
Yes, Colwell is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is my textured ceiling in Colwell asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. A test will tell you.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
About our artex removal in Colwell

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If you run a business from older premises in Colwell, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
