Artex and Textured Ceiling Asbestos across Merseyside
Dock warehouses, Victorian terraces, 1960s system-built schools and huge post-war estates mean asbestos is a daily issue for Merseyside landlords and contractors.
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.
