Dunsbury questions
Do you come out to small villages like Dunsbury?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Dunsbury contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Dunsbury may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Dunsbury?
Yes, we do: our area includes Dunsbury and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
About our artex removal in Dunsbury
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical jobs include loft conversions and extensions and coatings damaged by leaks, involving stipple finishes, textured walls and coated plasterboard.
In places like Dunsbury, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
