Questions from Dadford
Do textured ceilings in Dadford homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover small places like Dadford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
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.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Artex removal in Dadford
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. Typical jobs include landlord refurbishments and coatings damaged by DIY, involving coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Dadford have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.
