FAQs for Holborough
Do you cover Holborough and the area around Snodland station?
Yes, we cover Holborough and the area towards Snodland station, about 0.5 miles south.
Is the Artex in my Holborough home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work in Holborough?
Yes, Holborough is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We need the room cleared
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
Weighing up your options
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
What you get
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Reports and results you can share
- Clear advice on your options
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
Read our prices page or our cost guide.
After the job
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Test every different coating
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Send photos of the coatings
Things not to do
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
