About our artex removal in Dunton
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Typical jobs include ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and walls before tiling, involving textured walls, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard.
In a village like Dunton, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Questions from Dunton
Do you cover Dunton from London?
Dunton is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Dunton have asbestos?
If your home in Dunton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Normally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
