Artex removal near Little Hoddington
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Common materials are textured walls, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard, and people generally contact us about landlord refurbishments and coatings in the way of electrical work.
Rural homes near Little Hoddington have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Questions from Little Hoddington
Could my house in Little Hoddington contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Little Hoddington can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Little Hoddington from London?
Little Hoddington is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you cover Little Hoddington?
Yes, Little Hoddington is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Typically you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
