Artex removal across Buckinghamshire

According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Typical materials include stipple finishes, textured walls and Artex ceilings, and people generally contact us about ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and flaking textured ceilings.

On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work.

Artex removal in Buckinghamshire

In Buckinghamshire, renovation is when textured ceilings get noticed, in towns and villages alike. The Chilterns National Landscape is within easy reach of places across Buckinghamshire, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight.

Aylesbury: If you are refurbishing flats near Aylesbury station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings. For a school such as Buckinghamshire UTC, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Looking after things afterwards

We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.

A closer look at the materials

Painted coatings

Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.

Textured walls

Walls are treated like ceilings.

Responsibilities for owners

If you manage or own a block in Buckinghamshire, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Buckinghamshire must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Choosing the right option

Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used.

What your quote should include

Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
The scope of the job, in writing
VAT, clearly stated
That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor

Can I do it myself?

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Buckinghamshire questions

Could my home contain asbestos?

Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Do I need a test or a survey?

Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.

Can you help with a flat?

We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

What if the weather’s bad?

That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

Can I just skim over it?

Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.

Can you help with a shop or office?

We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
