Artex removal for Horsleys Green
About our artex removal in Horsleys Green
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. From ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, we cover textured walls, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses.
In a village like Horsleys Green, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Which option is right?

Do you work near Saunderton station?

Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Will I get the price in writing?

What does licensed work mean?

My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
