FAQs for Ufton Nervet
How far is Ufton Nervet from London?
We cover Ufton Nervet, about 43 miles from central London.
Could my house in Ufton Nervet contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will advise for each room.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- What the material is and its state
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How many samples are needed
- The quantity or area
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Approximate dimensions
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
