Artex removal for Grandpont properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. People often contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and rented homes refurbished between tenants, involving Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
In places like Grandpont, textured ceilings are a common renovation find, and testing comes first. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Grandpont questions
Do you cover Grandpont and the area around Oxford station?
Yes. Oxford station is about 0.7 miles north-west of Grandpont, and we cover both.
Could my house in Grandpont contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Grandpont can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
