Artex removal near Mapledurwell

Village homes like those in Mapledurwell have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common questions in Mapledurwell
Do textured ceilings in Mapledurwell homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Mapledurwell from London?
Mapledurwell is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Generally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
After we have finished in Mapledurwell

What to avoid
