Asbestos help in Winford
Why people call us in Winford
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
In older properties, we often see:
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings before skimming
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings coming down
For rented flats close to Lake station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Artex removal for Winford properties
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in Winford. People often contact us about loft conversions and extensions and coatings damaged by leaks, including textured walls, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Winford have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Winford questions
Is asbestos common in Winford homes?
Any home in Winford built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Winford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is my textured ceiling in Winford asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.

After we’ve finished in Winford
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Test every different coating
Don’ts
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
For businesses and landlords in Winford
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Weighing up your options
Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
