Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
FAQs for Willey Green
How far is Willey Green from London?
Willey Green is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Willey Green have asbestos?
If your home in Willey Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
How much does Artex removal cost in Willey Green?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
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.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How it works
At the end, the room is cleaned and checked before the seals come down. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Getting ready
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Make sure we can get to the area

Choosing the right option
