Asbestos help in Twitton
Artex removal for Twitton properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. Common materials are swirl patterns, textured walls and stipple finishes, and people normally contact us about ceilings before plastering and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
Rural homes near Twitton have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Questions from Twitton
Do textured ceilings in Twitton homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How far is Twitton from London?
We cover Twitton, about 17 miles from central London.
Is my textured ceiling in Twitton asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How much does Artex removal cost in Twitton?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
The process
If we are taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible and bagged or wrapped. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.

Your options compared
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is generally best. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
