Curbridge questions
How far is Curbridge from London?
We cover Curbridge, about 65 miles from central London.
Could my house in Curbridge contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Curbridge may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
How we work
We start by sealing and protecting the room, then keep the coating wet throughout. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We sample each coating
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Ensure we can get to the area

What affects the price in Curbridge

- The size of the job

- Where we could park
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Cracks or breaks
- A clear close-up
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
After the job
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets away
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Each different coating needs testing

Where asbestos turns up
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.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings coming down
If you are refurbishing flats near Botley station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
