Artex removal near Maiden's Green
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Common materials are Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and textured walls, and people usually contact us about coatings scraped during DIY and ceilings due for plastering or skimming.
Village homes like those in Maiden's Green have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Your questions about Artex removal in Maiden's Green
Do textured ceilings in Maiden's Green homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Maiden's Green from London?
We cover Maiden's Green, about 27 miles from central London.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you cover Maiden's Green?
We do: our area includes Maiden's Green and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
