Asbestos help in Mayford
About our artex removal in Mayford
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 the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. From ceilings due for plastering or skimming and damaged or cracked coatings, we deal with coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard and more.
Rural homes near Mayford have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Questions from Mayford
Do you cover Mayford from London?
We cover Mayford, about 25 miles from central London.
Do textured ceilings in Mayford homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
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 dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is my textured ceiling in Mayford asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
For businesses and landlords in Mayford
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
