About our artex removal in Fairseat

HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. We often deal with Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated ceiling roses, and people typically contact us about loft conversions and textured walls before a refit.

Village homes like those in Fairseat have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What we do and don’t cover

Some limits to bear in mind:

  • Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
  • Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
  • Other materials may need their own approach

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

What we deal with

  • Coated plasterboard
  • Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
  • Patched or painted coatings
  • Artex ceilings
  • Swirl and stipple patterns
  • Textured walls

Service details

A closer look at the materials

Textured walls

Walls are treated like ceilings.

Artex ceilings

We test each different coating.

Afterwards

We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.

Once we’re done:

  • Send photos of the coatings
  • Book your plasterer after removal
  • File the test result and waste note
  • Give us room sizes

Avoid these

Plan testing before the renovation starts.

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

Your questions about Artex removal in Fairseat

Is the Artex in my Fairseat home asbestos?

Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.

Do you cover Fairseat and the area around Borough Green & Wrotham station?

Yes, we cover Fairseat and the area towards Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 2.6 miles south.

What if the weather’s bad?

Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

When can you start?

It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

Should all asbestos be removed?

Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

Can you help with a shop or office?

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

How do I get a quote?

Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Step by step

For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces and bagged or wrapped. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing.

  1. Describe the rooms and coatings
  2. We sample the coating first
  3. We plan the method and quote
  4. The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
  5. We clean up and dispose of the waste legally

Getting ready

  • Keep children and pets away on the day
  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Mention any damage before we arrive

Which option is right?

A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask about the method and the waste. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Why us?

  • Jobs planned to HSE guidance
  • Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
  • Across London and the South East
  • Reports and results you can share

For businesses and landlords in Fairseat

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Fairseat must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Should you do it yourself?
