Artex removal in Eridge Green

We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across Eridge Green. From flaking textured ceilings and coatings scraped during DIY, we deal with swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.

Village homes like those in Eridge Green have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Eridge Green questions

Do you cover small places like Eridge Green?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.

How far is Eridge Green from London?

Eridge Green is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.

Should all asbestos be removed?

Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.

Do you work on commercial premises?

Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.

How quickly can you come out?

It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

What if the weather’s bad?

It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.

Is Artex removal licensed work?

HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.

How we work

At the end, the room is cleaned and checked. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions.

  1. Describe the rooms and coatings
  2. We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
  3. We plan the method and quote
  4. The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
  5. The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Let us know if something’s broken
  • Find any old asbestos reports

What happens next

File the result and the paperwork.

After the job, keep these in mind:

  • Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
  • Book your plasterer after removal
  • File the test result and waste note
  • Test every different coating

What to avoid

Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.

Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.

DIY and asbestos

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
