Asbestos Ceiling Removal

Artex ceilings

Asbestos Ceiling Removal

A lot of properties built in the 70s, 80s and 90s feature Artex ceilings (a textured finish with swirled or stippled patterns).

Up until the mid-80s, Artex used asbestos as a strengthening ingredient. This does not necessarily mean that your Artex ceiling will contain asbestos, but it is important to get an expert to conduct asbestos surveys if you are not sure.

If your Artex ceiling was built before the 90s, then there is a higher chance that it contains asbestos, and we’d strongly recommend that you get professional asbestos testing to be on the safe side.

    James Mapley
  • "A big thank you to Chris and the team for the superb job they did dismantling our horrible old asbestos/concrete garage! It was all done very quickly and professionally. They wore PPE and the asbestos roof panels were securely wrapped in plastic sheeting. The site was left clean and tidy afterwards. I also appreciated your sending me your waste licence and a copy of your insurance which was very reassuring."

    Hugh Walton
  • "Removed an asbestos garage roof, whole shed with asbestos roof, and then when there was further asbestos at the end of the garden took that too. Worked very hard solidly for two hours, loaded sheets, wore masks and suits. Great service and solved a big problem for me."

    Elizabeth Anderson
  • "I had 40 sqm of aertex ceiling removed in my house and the price came out as reasonable (particularly against 3 other quotes I had for the job). The job was completed in one day which I was chuffed with and the guys made sure that the house was safe for us to live in afterwards. Very happy with Goodbye Asbestos, would highly recommend."

    Olivia Lands
  • "On finding Marley tiles on our floors we were in urgent need of having them removed. Goodbye Asbestos were amazing. They booked us in really quickly and on time, came and scraped up all the offending tiles and gripper rods. They disposed of the rubbish and sealed the under floor, leaving us ready for the laying of our new flooring. A job well done."

    Paul Tootill
  • "Goodbye Asbestos provided a very polite and professional service on a pre-purchase where a suspicious material was identified by a surveyor. Tom gave us a quick turn around and timeframe and kept us updated throughout the process. Would highly recommend for a no fuss experience!"

    Elizabeth Packham
  • "I have used Goodbye Asbestos twice, once removing an old asbestos shed and recently my large garage which had an asbestos roof. The guys are efficient, clean and friendly. All wear the appropriate clothing whilst handling the asbestos. Organising the quote and the demolition was easy. I'd highly recommend Goodbye Asbestos for any Asbestos removal you may require."

    Callum Stott

    Stefano Ferrari
  • "Sent email about an asbestos test on textured ceiling, replied immediately and arranged the test 2 days later. 5th March arrived at the arranged time and sample taken, very professional and extremely nice technician. The certificate arrived mid-morning 8th March. If work is required on ceilings will definitely use this company, very competitive rates."

    Charles Shaw
  • "Extremely quick response from Andy on my initial online quote. Very helpful from first contact on the phone clarifying all my questions and issues particularly around the difficult access to the back of the property. Excellent price to remove asbestos shed roof as well as demolish and remove rest of the shed. Arrived when they said they would, did the job fast and well, left no mess. Would definitely recommend."

    Phil Blue
  • "I wanted to say a big thank you to Chris and the team for the superb job they did this morning in dismantling our horrible old asbestos/concrete garage! It was all done very quickly and professionally. They wore PPE and the asbestos roof panels were securely wrapped in plastic sheeting. The site was left clean and tidy afterwards. I also appreciated your sending me your waste licence and a copy of your insurance which was very reassuring as one reads some horror stories about waste disposal cowboys."

    Gordon Taylor
  • "I was really pleased to find a company that could dispose of an old asbestos garage that had already been dismantled and stacked in my garden for years. I thought it was going to be much more hassle than it was and was pleasantly surprised at the cost. The guys arrived and were polite, courteous and efficient. No hidden charges or additions to the quote. I will happily recommend them to friends and family."

    Gerard Lenihan
  • "I had my asbestos water tank removed from my loft in Croydon. Chris did a great job. They had about a weeks lead time. I needed this done ASAP and they were able to prioritise it and we booked it in next day. Thanks to Andy"

    Danny Williams
  • "Really helpful and flexible and collected all my asbestos with no hassle. And significantly cheaper than anyone else I could find. Would fully recommend them."

    Andrew Crossley
  • "Arrived at 8 am to remove an asbestos board found behind a panel.

    After reassuring my wife that the house wasn’t contaminated with asbestos fibres, the team were very efficient and thorough. An air test was also carried out which confirmed that no asbestos particles were present. Thank you Goodbye Asbestos."

    Louis Parsons
  • "Great service, friendly staff and competitive price. The asbestos was picked up by a diligent worker who came back and checked that there were no small bits on the ground. That really impressed me. Would recommend."

    James Goldbridge
  • "A very quick service. Andy really helped me out when my electrician had to stop work as it was suspected that our kitchen ceiling could be asbestos. He came round the next day and a couple of samples were taken. The results showed no asbestos. I was relieved."

  • "I had the demolition of an asbestos garage done by 'Goodbye Asbestos' and couldn't recommend them more, they were highly professional, clean and extremely polite."

    Megan Forrester
  • "Goodbye Asbestos cleared away an old concrete prefab garage for me this weekend. The job was slightly bigger than the team was expecting on arrival but they just got on and sorted it out. They were polite, fast and tidy. Would definitely recommend."

Garage ceilings

Asbestos used to be used in garage roofs as it is a natural fire-retardant and has excellent thermal insulation properties. It was also used in corrugated roofing for garages, due to its strength and durability. Asbestos surveys show whether the material is present in garage roofs. If so, the corrugated roofing may require asbestos disposal – or, in cases where the asbestos is too widespread, you may need to invest in a replacement roof for your garage.

Remember: asbestos is only dangerous in powder, dust or fibre form that you breathe in when the material is disturbed. So if you want to find out whether there is asbestos in your ceiling or floor tiling, it is essential to get professional asbestos testing rather than taking a DIY approach and poking around, as you could end up doing more harm than good. Here at Goodbye Asbestos, we’ll provide you with hassle-free advice for asbestos removal in your home or commercial space, putting your mind at ease that your property is completely safe.
