Artex removal for Lower Farringdon properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical materials include stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns, and people generally contact us about textured walls before a refit and coatings scraped during DIY.
Rural homes near Lower Farringdon have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Lower Farringdon: your questions answered
Do you work near Alton station?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How much does Artex removal cost in Lower Farringdon?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Choosing the right option
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is usually best. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
