Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Coated plasterboard
Board removal avoids stripping.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Your options compared
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Always test first. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Accredited laboratory results
- Domestic and commercial work
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Walton on the Hill questions
Do you cover Walton on the Hill from London?
We cover Walton on the Hill, about 16 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Walton on the Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
