Common reasons for Artex jobs in Chale Green
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Ceilings coming down
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings before plastering
- Loft conversions and extensions
Older homes across Chale Green may have coatings added during past renovations.

Chale Green: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Chale Green homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Chale Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Chale Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Materials, one by one
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- How much there is
- How easy it is to reach
- Travel and parking
- The category of work
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An overall view
- Approximate dimensions
- Visible markings
- Street parking nearby
Send us the address in Chale Green, a description and some photos: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749, and we’ll reply with a quote.
Afterwards
File the result and the paperwork.
After we have finished:
- Test every different coating
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Give us room sizes
What to avoid
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
