Questions from Bramshott Chase
Do textured ceilings in Bramshott Chase homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
How far is Bramshott Chase from London?
We cover Bramshott Chase, about 40 miles from central London.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Usually not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What it might be made of
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Options to consider in Bramshott Chase
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
