About our artex removal in Hundred Acres
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. From ceilings due for plastering or skimming and walls before tiling, we deal with Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses and more.
Village homes like those in Hundred Acres have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Questions from Hundred Acres
Do you cover small places like Hundred Acres?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Hundred Acres contain asbestos?
Any home in Hundred Acres built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you cover Hundred Acres?
We do: our area includes Hundred Acres and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Hundred Acres, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Keep pets away
- Test every different coating
What to avoid
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We need the room cleared
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
