Warden questions
Is the Artex in my Warden home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover small places like Warden?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Artex removal in Warden
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. From ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and coatings scraped during DIY, we cover Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated ceiling roses and more.
Rural homes near Warden have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Options to consider in Warden
