Helpful guides
Your questions about Artex removal in Mockbeggar
Do older homes in Mockbeggar have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Mockbeggar?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
