Asbestos help in Wingrave
Materials we deal with

Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
Artex removal near Wingrave
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. People often contact us about walls before tiling and ceilings before skimming, involving textured walls, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
In towns and villages like Wingrave, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
What happens next
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
After we have finished:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Give us room sizes
- Photos help us quote
- Empty the rooms in advance
Avoid these
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The category of work
- Location, parking and any London charges
- What the material is and its state
- How much waste there is
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A rough size or measurement
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Street parking nearby
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
To get a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
For businesses and landlords in Wingrave
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Questions from Wingrave
How far is Wingrave from London?
Wingrave is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is the Artex in my Wingrave home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Why people call us in Wingrave
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
Non-domestic buildings like Wingrave Church of England Combined School should already have records of any textured coatings.
What to look for in a quote
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
