How artex removal works in Highbridge
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Highbridge, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. From damaged or cracked coatings and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we deal with swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses and more.
Village homes like those in Highbridge have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

FAQs for Highbridge
Do you come out to small villages like Highbridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Highbridge have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.
For businesses and landlords in Highbridge
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
For managing agents and freeholders in Highbridge, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
