Questions from Dedworth
How far is Dedworth from London?
Dedworth is about 24 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Dedworth have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Dedworth can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

We do: Dedworth is within the area we cover in Windsor and Maidenhead. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Artex removal for Dedworth properties
If your renovation in Dedworth involves textured ceilings, test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Typical jobs include ceilings before downlights go in and extensions that cut into ceilings, involving coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
In a smaller place like Dedworth, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes, and testing comes first. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Where asbestos turns up
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
If your home is one of the older properties in Dedworth, near All Saints Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
