Artex removal near Mullenspond
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. We often deal with Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and damaged or cracked coatings.
Village homes like those in Mullenspond have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Common questions in Mullenspond
Could my house in Mullenspond contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Mullenspond can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Mullenspond?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
