People often contact us about structural work through coated ceilings and rented flats before redecoration, including swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes.
Rural homes near Worthy Down have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Duty holders and landlords in Worthy Down
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If your business premises in Worthy Down were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- How much there is
- How many samples are needed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The type of material and its condition
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Visible markings
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An idea of size
- Where we could park

What else we do in Worthy Down
Common questions in Worthy Down
Could my house in Worthy Down contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Worthy Down?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What it might be made of
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.

Good to know
