Your questions about Artex removal in Hammerwood
How far is Hammerwood from London?
Hammerwood is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you work in Hammerwood?
Yes. We cover Hammerwood and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will explain the options.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
