Artex removal in Atherfield Green
Atherfield Green: your questions answered
Is the Artex in my Atherfield Green home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Atherfield Green homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is my textured ceiling in Atherfield Green asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll advise room by room.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How artex removal works in Atherfield Green
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. Whether it’s ceilings before plastering and extensions that cut into ceilings, we deal with coated ceiling roses, textured walls and Artex ceilings and more.
Village homes like those in Atherfield Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.
