When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.

Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
