Artex removal for Bushey Mead properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical materials include stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and coatings in the way of electrical work.
In flats and houses around Bushey Mead, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Duty holders and landlords in Bushey Mead
If you run a business from older premises in Bushey Mead, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Bushey Mead: your questions answered
Do you work near Raynes Park station?
Yes, we cover Bushey Mead, including the streets around Raynes Park station.
Could my house in Bushey Mead contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will explain the options.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
