Asbestos help in Jordans
Materials, one by one
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Artex removal for Jordans properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. We often deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes, and people normally contact us about coatings damaged by DIY and ceilings before skimming.
Rural homes near Jordans have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Jordans: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Jordans from London?
Jordans is about 23 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Textured walls before a refit
- Loft conversions
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
Non-domestic buildings like Jordans School should already have records of any textured coatings.
