Typical Artex jobs in Ebernoe

Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.

Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:

  • Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
  • Loft conversions and extensions
  • Ceilings before plastering
  • Coatings already disturbed

If your home is one of the older properties in Ebernoe, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

What to look for in a quote

  • Waste disposal and the consignment note

Choosing an asbestos contractor

After the job

File the result and the paperwork.

Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:

  • Empty the rooms in advance
  • Each different coating needs testing
  • Book your plasterer after removal
  • Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off

What to avoid

Plan testing before the renovation starts.

Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

What it costs

Our quotes take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Disposal costs
  • The category of work
  • The type of material and its condition

When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

DIY and asbestos

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Step by step

We bag and label the waste as we work, then taken to a permitted site. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.

  1. Tell us which rooms and surfaces
  2. We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
  3. We plan the removal and send a quote
  4. The coating is removed with controls
  5. The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure we can get to the area
  • Let neighbours know if the work is near them
  • Dig out previous surveys

Getting a price

Responsibilities for owners

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

  • We need the room cleared

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Ebernoe: your questions answered

Do you cover Ebernoe from London?

Ebernoe is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.

Is the Artex in my Ebernoe home asbestos?

Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Can you help with a flat?

Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Does someone need to be there?

Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

What does it cost to remove Artex?

It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
