Artex removal for Pyrford Village
About our artex removal in Pyrford Village
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical jobs include extensions that cut into ceilings and rented flats before redecoration, including coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
Village homes like those in Pyrford Village have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Common questions in Pyrford Village
Is asbestos common in Pyrford Village homes?
If your home in Pyrford Village was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Pyrford Village?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
