About our artex removal in Studdal
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Studdal. Whether it’s coatings damaged by DIY and ceilings before downlights go in, we deal with Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses and more.
Village homes like those in Studdal have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What it might be made of
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.

For rented flats close to Martin Mill station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings. The coast is within about 5 miles of Studdal; indoor work like textured coating removal isn’t affected by the weather.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
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.

- Ceilings before downlights go in

FAQs for Studdal
Do you come out to small villages like Studdal?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Studdal and the area around Martin Mill station?
Yes. Martin Mill station is about 2.3 miles south-east of Studdal, and we cover both.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
