Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
How we work
We bag and label the waste as we work, then taken to a permitted site. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- We sample each different coating for testing
- We go through the options and send a quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit

- Keep away from the material in the meantime

FAQs for Oakshott
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Oakshott from London?
We cover Oakshott, about 48 miles from central London.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you cover Oakshott?
Yes, Oakshott is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How much does Artex removal cost in Oakshott?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Your options compared
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
