Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Common questions in Horsebridge
Do you come out to small villages like Horsebridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is the Artex in my Horsebridge home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Good to know
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it does not:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Horsebridge, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What affects the price in Horsebridge
Every quote reflects:
- The survey scope
- Parking and access charges
- Access to the area
- What the material is and its state
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
