Artex removal near Burdrop
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Artex removal for Burdrop properties
If your renovation in Burdrop involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. We often deal with Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard, and people generally contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and loft conversions and extensions.

Burdrop: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Burdrop?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is the Artex in my Burdrop home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.

Where asbestos turns up
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings already disturbed
- Structural work through coated ceilings
If your home is one of the older properties in Burdrop, near Church of Holy Trinity or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
