Materials we deal with
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Your questions about Artex removal in Felcourt
Could my house in Felcourt contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Felcourt can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Felcourt?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Which option is right?
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is generally best. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
