Artex removal near Wimbledon Chase
FAQs for Wimbledon Chase
Could my house in Wimbledon Chase contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Wimbledon Chase station?
Yes. Wimbledon Chase station is close to the centre of Wimbledon Chase, and we cover the whole area.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.

What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, 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.
