DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Typical jobs in Eddington include:

The scope of Artex removal
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Your questions about Artex removal in Eddington
Do older homes in Eddington have asbestos?
Any home in Eddington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Hungerford station?
Yes. Hungerford station is close to the centre of Eddington, and we cover the whole area.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
