Artex removal in Clifton Reynes

Artex removal near Clifton Reynes

Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Whether it’s extensions that cut into ceilings and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we cover coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes and more.

In a village like Clifton Reynes, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Which option is right?

A test before removal can save money: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Can I do it myself?

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.

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Clifton Reynes questions

How far is Clifton Reynes from London?

We cover Clifton Reynes, about 52 miles from central London.

Do older homes in Clifton Reynes have asbestos?

Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Do you work in flats?

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

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.

What if my house is newer?

Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?

You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.

Does someone need to be there?

We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.

Step by step

On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.

  1. Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
  2. We sample each different coating for testing
  3. If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
  4. The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
  5. We clean up and send the waste paperwork

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions
  • Tell us about anything that is already damaged
  • Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
  • Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
