What else we do in Crawley
Your questions about Artex removal in Crawley
Do you cover Crawley and the area around Crawley station?
Yes. Crawley station is close to the centre of Crawley, and we cover the whole area.
Do you cover Crawley from London?
Crawley is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
