Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is my textured ceiling in Longparish asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
The process
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, with no sanding or dry scraping. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there’s no confusion.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Getting ready
- Tell us about parking and access
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
Afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Send photos of the coatings
What to avoid
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
