The scope of Artex removal
To be clear about the scope:
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
Afterwards
The surface is left ready for making good.
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Photos help us quote
- File the test result and waste note
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Test before the builders arrive.
Bracknell Forest questions
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
