Artex removal for Gundleton
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Artex removal for Gundleton properties
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. People often contact us about ceilings before plastering and flaking textured ceilings, involving swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and textured walls.
In areas like Gundleton, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

FAQs for Gundleton
Do older homes in Gundleton have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Gundleton may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Gundleton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How much does Artex removal cost in Gundleton?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
