Artex removal near Shilton
Artex removal in Shilton
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. Typical jobs include coatings scraped during DIY and textured walls before a refit, involving swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Shilton have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Common questions in Shilton
Do you cover small places like Shilton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Shilton from London?
We cover Shilton, about 68 miles from central London.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
How much does Artex removal cost in Shilton?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Shilton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
