Artex removal near Finberry
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. People often contact us about flaking textured ceilings and coatings scraped during DIY, involving stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Finberry have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

FAQs for Finberry
Do textured ceilings in Finberry homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover small places like Finberry?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
