About our artex removal in Guestling Green
If your renovation in Guestling Green involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Typical jobs include coatings damaged by leaks and ceilings before plastering, involving Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
Village homes like those in Guestling Green have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Should you do it yourself?
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.
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.
Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is generally best. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Questions from Guestling Green
Do older homes in Guestling Green have asbestos?
If your home in Guestling Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do textured ceilings in Guestling Green homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Guestling Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
