Artex removal near Twyford
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
About our artex removal in Twyford
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and ceilings before skimming.
Rural homes near Twyford have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We only recommend work that is needed.

Twyford: your questions answered
Do you work near Shawford station?
Yes, we cover Twyford and the area towards Shawford station, about 0.7 miles west.
Do older homes in Twyford have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
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.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

What it costs
The cost depends on:
- What the material is and its state
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Disposal costs
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Labels, if any
- How we’d reach it
- A picture of the whole area
- A rough size or measurement
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
