Artex removal near Farley Wood
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. We often deal with coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are flaking textured ceilings and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights.
In a smaller place like Farley Wood, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Could my house in Farley Wood contain asbestos?
If your home in Farley Wood was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
