Artex removal near Eyhorne Street
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Eyhorne Street. Typical jobs include rented flats before redecoration and walls before tiling, including swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Eyhorne Street have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

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

Landlords, managing agents and employers

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Eyhorne Street questions
Is the Artex in my Eyhorne Street home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you come out to small villages like Eyhorne Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll recommend one for each room.
What it might be made of
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
