Should you do it yourself?
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.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What happens
If we’re taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible and bagged or wrapped. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Get in touch with photos
- We arrange testing
- We talk through the options
- We remove it safely if that is what you choose
- We dispose of the waste legally
Getting ready
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Where asbestos turns up
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Coatings already disturbed
If you are refurbishing a rental near Farncombe station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
What your quote should include
- The scope of the job, in writing
- The method and controls
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab

FAQs for Littleton
Could my house in Littleton contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Littleton may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Littleton and the area around Farncombe station?
Yes. Farncombe station is about 1.3 miles south of Littleton, and we cover both.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Your options compared
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is generally best. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
