Your questions about Artex removal in Holmwood Corner
Do you work near Holmwood station?
Yes. Holmwood station is close to the centre of Holmwood Corner, and we cover the whole area.
How far is Holmwood Corner from London?
We cover Holmwood Corner, about 24 miles from central London.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise for each room.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What it might be made of
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.

After the job
