Asbestos help in Trolliloes

About our artex removal in Trolliloes

Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Typical materials include textured walls, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are walls before tiling and rented flats before redecoration.

Village homes like those in Trolliloes have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

What’s included, and what isn’t

A few things to be aware of:

  • Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
  • Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
  • We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything

Trolliloes: your questions answered

Do you cover Trolliloes from London?

We cover Trolliloes, about 44 miles from central London.

Do textured ceilings in Trolliloes homes contain asbestos?

Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.

Do you work in Trolliloes?

Yes, Trolliloes is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.

Is asbestos dangerous?

Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.

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.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

Does someone need to be there?

We need access to every area involved in the job.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

If you run a business from older premises in Trolliloes, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Typical Artex jobs in Trolliloes

Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.

Common situations in older properties include:

  • Structural work through coated ceilings
  • Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
  • Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
  • Ceilings before plastering

What to look for in a quote

  • Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
  • Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
  • VAT, clearly stated
  • For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
