Artex and Textured Ceiling Asbestos across Cumbria
Farm buildings with cement sheet roofs, shipyard and industrial sites on the west coast, and Lake District guest houses all need asbestos surveys before work starts.
Textured decorative coatings were hugely popular in UK homes from the 1960s to the 1980s. Many contain chrysotile (white asbestos) at low levels. Left alone and painted they are low risk, but sanding, scraping or drilling them can release fibres.
Guide price: Test from £95 · removal per room from £600.
