FAQs for Curdridge
Is asbestos common in Curdridge homes?
Any home in Curdridge built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Curdridge from London?
Curdridge is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Artex removal near Curdridge
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Curdridge. Typical jobs include loft conversions and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, including swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Curdridge have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Which option is right?
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
In older properties, we often see:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Ceilings coming down
- Loft conversions
If your home is one of the older properties in Curdridge, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
