For landlords, agents and businesses

If your business premises in Upper Chute were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

What it might be made of

Painted coatings

We sample through the paint into the coating.

Coated plasterboard

Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.

Which option is right?

Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

What you get

  • Legal disposal, with paperwork
  • Reports and results you can share
  • Identify first, remove only when needed
  • Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

Take a look at how we price jobs and our cost guide.

What we do and don’t cover

To be clear about the scope:

  • Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
  • Other materials may need their own approach
  • Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Common materials

  • Artex ceilings
  • Patched or painted coatings
