Salters Heath: your questions answered
How far is Salters Heath from London?
Salters Heath is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Salters Heath?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

The scope of Artex removal
Worth knowing before booking:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We need the room cleared
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Coated plasterboard
Weighing up your options
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is normally better. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Salters Heath, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What we deal with in Salters Heath
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
In older homes in Salters Heath, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
