Rural homes near Little Ann have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Your questions about Artex removal in Little Ann
Is the Artex in my Little Ann home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you come out to small villages like Little Ann?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Weighing up your options
You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
