How artex removal works in Chalvey
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From landlord refurbishments and coatings in the way of electrical work, we cover coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and textured walls.
In a smaller place like Chalvey, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes, and testing comes first. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Chalvey questions
Do older homes in Chalvey have asbestos?

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
