Artex removal for Turville
Which option is right?

Why choose us
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Reports and results you can share
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

How artex removal works in Turville
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical materials include stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and textured walls, and typical jobs are rented homes refurbished between tenants and extensions that cut into ceilings.
Village homes like those in Turville have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

To avoid problems in future:
- Plan around the closed rooms

Questions from Turville
How far is Turville from London?
We cover Turville, about 35 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Turville home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
