DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
About our artex removal in Darby Green
If your renovation in Darby Green involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. We often deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are coatings in the way of electrical work and flaking textured ceilings.
Village homes like those in Darby Green have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Common questions in Darby Green
Is the Artex in my Darby Green home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Darby Green from London?
We cover Darby Green, about 33 miles from central London.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What we deal with in Darby Green
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
Typical jobs in Darby Green include:
- Ceilings coming down
- Landlord refurbishments
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Sandhurst station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
What to look for in a quote

After we’ve finished in Darby Green
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep pets away
- Photos help us quote
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Give us room sizes
Don’ts
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
