FAQs for Lower Pennington
Do you cover Lower Pennington and the area around Lymington Pier station?
Yes. Lymington Pier station is about 1.6 miles north-east of Lower Pennington, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Lower Pennington homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lower Pennington may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll advise room by room.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Artex removal near Lower Pennington
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Whether it’s ceilings coming down and ceilings before skimming, we deal with textured walls, swirl patterns and stipple finishes and more.
In towns and villages like Lower Pennington, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Many trades want a test result first.
In older properties, we often see:
