Hart Plain: your questions answered
Is the Artex in my Hart Plain home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How far is Hart Plain from London?
We cover Hart Plain, about 58 miles from central London.
Is my textured ceiling in Hart Plain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
