Questions from Sedrup
How far is Sedrup from London?
We cover Sedrup, about 38 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Sedrup?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How much does Artex removal cost in Sedrup?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We will advise room by room.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
