Choosing the right option
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Filmore Hill
Many trades want a test result first.

- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Extensions that cut into ceilings

- Structural work through coated ceilings
Older homes across Filmore Hill may have coatings added during past renovations.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How fibres will be kept down
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Filmore Hill questions
How far is Filmore Hill from London?
We cover Filmore Hill, about 52 miles from central London.
Do textured ceilings in Filmore Hill homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
