Your questions about Artex removal in HP15
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll recommend one for each room.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
