How artex removal works in Mindenhurst
If your renovation in Mindenhurst involves textured ceilings, test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Typical jobs include rented flats before redecoration and coatings already disturbed, including swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
Rural homes near Mindenhurst have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Why people call us in Mindenhurst
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Landlord refurbishments
- Loft conversions and extensions
Non-domestic buildings like Sandringham Infant & Nursery School should already have records of any textured coatings.

Mindenhurst questions
Do you come out to small villages like Mindenhurst?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Mindenhurst have asbestos?
If your home in Mindenhurst was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
