Questions from Upper Burgate
Do you come out to small villages like Upper Burgate?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do textured ceilings in Upper Burgate homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
What happens next
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Once we are done:
- Keep pets away
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Give us room sizes
- Send photos of the coatings
Don’ts
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
The scope of Artex removal
A few things to be aware of:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
Choosing the right option
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why choose us
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Work done to the regulations
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
What affects the price in Upper Burgate
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- How much waste there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Travel and parking
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

A few photos can save a site visit:
- Where we could park
- How we’d reach it
- Cracks or breaks
- An overall view

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
