Painted coatings

Your questions about Artex removal in East Molesey
How far is East Molesey from London?
East Molesey is about 13 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in East Molesey have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in East Molesey can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.

We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.

Where asbestos turns up
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
In older properties, we often see:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings already disturbed
- Flaking textured ceilings
If you are refurbishing flats near Hampton Court station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
