Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get
- Any exclusions
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Common reasons for Artex jobs in IG4
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Landlord refurbishments
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Coatings in the way of electrical work

For businesses and landlords in IG4
If your business premises in IG4 were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
IG4 questions
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
