Artex removal across the Isle of Wight

Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Typical jobs include ceilings before downlights go in and ceilings coming down, involving Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.

We start by sealing and protecting the room, then keep the coating wet throughout.

The Isle of Wight: textured coatings in homes

From Newport, Ryde and Cowes to small villages, homes across the Isle of Wight have textured ceilings. We test first, wherever the property is. Around 116 places in the Isle of Wight are close to the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.

Newport: Non-domestic buildings like Nine Acres Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start. If your home is one of the older properties in Newport, near The Man in the Moon or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

What affects the price in the Isle of Wight

Prices vary with:

  • How easy it is to reach
  • Material and condition
  • The survey scope
  • Location, parking and any London charges

Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

What to photograph

Before you send photos, a few tips:

  • Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
  • A rough size or measurement
  • A picture of the whole area
  • A close-up from a safe distance

Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

The scope of Artex removal

So you know what to expect:

  • Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
  • Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
  • The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off

After the job

Covered coatings should be recorded.

  • Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
  • Photos help us quote
  • Test every different coating
  • Give us room sizes

Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.

Duty holders and landlords in the Isle of Wight

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in the Isle of Wight

Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.

Typical jobs in the Isle of Wight include:

  • Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
  • Ceilings before plastering
  • Coatings already disturbed
  • Ceilings before downlights go in

Your questions about Artex removal in the Isle of Wight

When can you start?

Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.

Is asbestos dangerous?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.

What does it cost to remove Artex?

Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
