Afterwards

Once we are done:
- Empty the rooms in advance

What to avoid
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
How artex removal works in Danehill
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical materials include stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard, and people usually contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and textured walls before a refit.
Village homes like those in Danehill have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.

What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- What the material is and its state
- Parking and access charges
- How much there is
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- The access route
- Cracks or breaks
- Labels, if any
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Materials we deal with
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, but the coating underneath is the same.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
