Artex removal in Dormans Park
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Whether it’s rented flats before redecoration and extensions that cut into ceilings, we deal with swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings and more.
In a village like Dormans Park, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

FAQs for Dormans Park
Is the Artex in my Dormans Park home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Dormans Park homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Dormans Park can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How much does Artex removal cost in Dormans Park?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
