Artex removal near Dunn Street
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. People often contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and coatings already disturbed, involving swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
In a village like Dunn Street, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
For businesses and landlords in Dunn Street
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Which option is right?
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 usually best. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Common questions in Dunn Street
How far is Dunn Street from London?
Dunn Street is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Dunn Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise for each room.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
