Common questions in North Looe
How far is North Looe from London?

Do you come out to small villages like North Looe?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How can I get a price?
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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work in North Looe?
Yes. We cover North Looe and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Generally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Artex removal for North Looe properties
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. Whether it’s ceilings before downlights go in and walls before tiling, we cover stipple finishes, textured walls and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in North Looe have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.
