Artex removal near Singlewell or Ifield

People often contact us about loft conversions and extensions and rented homes refurbished between tenants, including coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can I stay at home while you work?

Which asbestos work needs a licence?
