Your questions about Artex removal in Cliffe

Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?

Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.

Do you cover Cliffe and the area around Lewes station?

Yes. Lewes station is close to the centre of Cliffe, and we cover the whole area.

Do you work in flats?

We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

How can I get a price?

Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.

Do you cover Cliffe?

Yes, Cliffe is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.

Looking after things afterwards

After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.

After the job, keep these in mind:

Each different coating needs testing
Clear the rooms before the work
Keep pets away
Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are

Don’ts

Hold off on drilling until you have a result.

Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Cliffe

Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

Landlord refurbishments
Coatings damaged by DIY
Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
Structural work through coated ceilings

If you’re refurbishing a rental near Lewes station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

Questions to ask before booking

Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
If the price includes VAT
Whether the job needs notifying
That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

What to check before you book

Doing it yourself?

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Weighing up your options

What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is normally better. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
