About our artex removal in Cranmore
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. From coatings scraped during DIY and walls before tiling, we deal with textured walls, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
In towns and villages like Cranmore, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

A school like Shalfleet Church of England Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

FAQs for Cranmore
Is asbestos common in Cranmore homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Cranmore homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
