Board removal avoids stripping.
How artex removal works in Lagness
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Common materials are stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard, and people generally contact us about loft conversions and extensions and flaking textured ceilings.
Rural homes near Lagness have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

FAQs for Lagness
Do you cover small places like Lagness?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Lagness homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lagness may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
