Worth knowing before booking:

- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Other materials may need their own approach
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials in Whitchurch
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Textured walls
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- The type of material and its condition
- Disposal costs
- How easy it is to reach
- The category of work
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- An idea of size
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- The parking area
- An overall view

Questions from Whitchurch
Do textured ceilings in Whitchurch homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you come out to small villages like Whitchurch?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
