Common questions in Dormers Wells
Do you cover Dormers Wells and the area around Southall station?
Yes. Southall station is about 0.9 miles south-west of Dormers Wells, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in Dormers Wells homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
