Why people call us in Lower Twydall
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Loft conversions
If your home is one of the older properties in Lower Twydall, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

What it might be made of
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.

Your questions about Artex removal in Lower Twydall
Do you cover Lower Twydall from London?
We cover Lower Twydall, about 31 miles from central London.
Could my house in Lower Twydall contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
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.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
After the job
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Clear the rooms before the work
Things not to do
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Test before the builders arrive.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- How much there is
- The survey scope
- Location, parking and any London charges
