Artex removal near Cadmore End

Afterwards

Share the paperwork with your trades.

Staying safe afterwards:

  • Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
  • Send photos of the coatings
  • Book your plasterer after removal
  • Empty the rooms in advance

Avoid these

Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.

About our artex removal in Cadmore End

Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Common materials are coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by leaks and ceilings coming down.

Rural homes near Cadmore End have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

For landlords, agents and businesses

For managing agents and freeholders in Cadmore End, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Materials we deal with

Painted coatings

The sample includes the coating itself.

Patched areas

We may sample patches separately.

Can I do it myself?

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

How we work

We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.

  1. Tell us which rooms and surfaces
  2. We sample each coating
  3. If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
  4. We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
  5. The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork

How to prepare

  • Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
  • Ensure we can get to the area
  • Let us know if something’s broken

Getting a price

How we price Artex removal

Our quotes take into account:

  • Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
  • How many samples are needed
  • How much there is
  • How easy it is to reach

When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

What to photograph

Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:

  • A clear close-up
  • The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
  • Where we could park
  • Cracks or breaks

If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page; it helps us quote accurately.

Limits to be aware of

Worth knowing before you book:

  • We need the room cleared
  • Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
  • We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Materials we see

  • Textured walls
  • Swirl and stipple patterns
  • Patched or painted coatings
  • Coated plasterboard
  • Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
  • Artex ceilings

More about this service

Cadmore End: your questions answered

Do you cover Cadmore End from London?

Cadmore End is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.

Is the Artex in my Cadmore End home asbestos?

Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.

Do you work in Cadmore End?

Yes. We cover Cadmore End and the surrounding area as part of Buckinghamshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

Can you quote from photos?

Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.

Your options compared

Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? 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, because the material is clear.
