About our artex removal in Dinton
Planning a renovation in Dinton with textured ceilings? Get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. From walls before tiling and coatings already disturbed, we deal with stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard and more.
Rural homes near Dinton have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:

Dinton: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Dinton homes?
Any home in Dinton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Dinton from London?
Dinton is about 40 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Dinton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Choosing the right option
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
