Asbestos help in Eynsham
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Artex removal in Eynsham
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. We often deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses, and people usually contact us about coatings damaged by leaks and walls before tiling.
In areas like Eynsham, textured ceilings are a common renovation find. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

FAQs for Eynsham
Do older homes in Eynsham have asbestos?
If your home in Eynsham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Eynsham from London?
We cover Eynsham, about 58 miles from central London.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
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.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Normally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.

Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The size of the job
