Your questions about Artex removal in Chartwell Green
Do older homes in Chartwell Green have asbestos?
If your home in Chartwell Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is the Artex in my Chartwell Green home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Typical Artex jobs in Chartwell Green
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Coatings already disturbed
- Walls before tiling
Non-domestic buildings like Townhill Infant School should already have records of any textured coatings.
Before you book anyone
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether the job needs notifying
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
What happens next
Share the paperwork with your trades.
To avoid problems in future:
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep pets out of the work area

Limits to be aware of
Before booking, note that:
- We need the room cleared
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
