Your questions about Artex removal in E22
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll explain the options.
