Your questions about Artex removal in Denbigh
Do you cover Denbigh from London?
We cover Denbigh, about 44 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Denbigh have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Denbigh can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Weighing up your options
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Should you do it yourself?

- Labels, if any
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
After the job

Some practical advice:
- File the test result and waste note
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Photos help us quote
- Keep pets out of the work area
Things not to do
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Denbigh must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If your business premises in Denbigh were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
