Village homes like those in Durrants have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common questions in Durrants
How far is Durrants from London?
We cover Durrants, about 57 miles from central London.
Do you cover Durrants and the area around Rowlands Castle station?
Yes, we cover Durrants and the area towards Rowlands Castle station, about 0.9 miles north-east.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How much does Artex removal cost in Durrants?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
