Your questions about Artex removal in Doleham
How far is Doleham from London?
We cover Doleham, about 50 miles from central London.
Could my house in Doleham contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Doleham may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Materials, one by one
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Why people call us in Doleham
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Ceilings coming down
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Landlord refurbishments
- Coatings already disturbed
If your home is one of the older properties in Doleham, near The Parish Church of St George or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
What your quote should include
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- The documents you’ll receive
- Whether VAT is included
- What category of work it is
What happens next
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Test every different coating
- Send photos of the coatings
- File the test result and waste note
- Keep pets out of the work area
Things not to do
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
The process
For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces and bagged or wrapped. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Keep children and pets away on the day

What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
