Asbestos help in Crowell Hill
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Artex removal in Crowell Hill
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Whether it’s damaged or cracked coatings and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, we deal with coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and textured walls and more.
In a village like Crowell Hill, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Your questions about Artex removal in Crowell Hill
Do you cover Crowell Hill from London?
We cover Crowell Hill, about 37 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Crowell Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
