For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Which option is right?
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Leckhampstead: your questions answered
Could my house in Leckhampstead contain asbestos?
If your home in Leckhampstead was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is the Artex in my Leckhampstead home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We need the room cleared
