Artex removal for Pell Green
Artex removal near Pell Green
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include coatings damaged by leaks and coatings damaged by DIY, including swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Pell Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Which option is right?
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
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.
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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
