People typically contact us about one of these:

Questions to ask before you book
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What paperwork you get
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- How fibres will be kept down
After the job
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Keep pets away
- Each different coating needs testing
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Things not to do
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

We start by sealing and protecting the room, then keep the coating wet throughout. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We arrange testing
- We talk through the options
- We carry out the removal
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit

Common questions in Goddards Green
Do you cover small places like Goddards Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Goddards Green from London?
We cover Goddards Green, about 37 miles from central London.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
