Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which does not change what’s underneath.
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- We need the room cleared
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Weighing up your options
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is normally best. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Covering London and the South East
- Reports and results you can share

Typical Artex jobs in Denton
Many trades want a test result first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings before skimming
Non-domestic buildings like St John's Catholic Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.

Denton questions
How far is Denton from London?
We cover Denton, about 22 miles from central London.
Could my house in Denton contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Denton can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How much does Artex removal cost in Denton?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Do you work in Denton?
Yes. We cover Denton and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Normally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Duty holders and landlords in Denton
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Denton 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 you run a business from older premises in Denton, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
