Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.

Common questions in Little Marlow
Could my house in Little Marlow contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Little Marlow?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Choosing the right option
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? The material and the job decide. See our guide to the three categories. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
