A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Artex removal for Northington properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include extensions that cut into ceilings and ceilings before skimming, including stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Northington have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Northington questions
How far is Northington from London?
Northington is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Micheldever station?
Yes. Micheldever station is about 4.6 miles north-west of Northington, and we cover both.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
