Artex removal for Penton Corner properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. People often contact us about loft conversions and extensions and coatings in the way of electrical work, involving swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
In places like Penton Corner, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Questions from Penton Corner
Do you work near Andover station?
Yes. Andover station is about 1.6 miles east of Penton Corner, and we cover both.
How far is Penton Corner from London?
We cover Penton Corner, about 65 miles from central London.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What does licensed work mean?
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 usually aren’t licensed.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
