Duty holders and landlords in Fencott
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What it might be made of
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Weighing up your options
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Good to know
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it does not:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
What happens next
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Photos help us quote
- File the test result and waste note
Avoid these
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
How it works
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly before the seals come down. We’ll tell you when we’ve finished and what you will receive afterwards.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
How to prepare
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

FAQs for Fencott
Do older homes in Fencott have asbestos?
If your home in Fencott 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.
Is the Artex in my Fencott home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We will advise room by room.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
