Artex removal in Feltham

Artex removal near Feltham

A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Feltham. Typical jobs include loft conversions and extensions and damaged or cracked coatings, including textured walls, stipple finishes and swirl patterns.

Ceilings in Feltham conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Which option is right?

Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

What you get

  • Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
  • Clear advice on your options
  • Covering London and the South East
  • We identify first and remove only what needs removing

Read how we quote or published price ranges.

What happens next

After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.

A few practical points:

  • Photos help us quote
  • Clear the rooms before the work
  • Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
  • File the test result and waste note

Don’ts

Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

Plan testing before the renovation starts.

FAQs for Feltham

Do you cover Feltham and the area around Feltham station?

Yes. Feltham station is close to the centre of Feltham, and we cover the whole area.

Is the Artex in my Feltham home asbestos?

Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

What does licensed work mean?

It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

Can I stay at home while you work?

The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.

Is Artex removal licensed work?

Typically not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.

Does all Artex contain asbestos?

Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. A test will tell you.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

How it works

If we’re taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible and bagged or wrapped. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there is no confusion.

  1. Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
  2. Each coating is sampled and tested
  3. We go through the options and send a quote
  4. The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
  5. The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork

How to prepare

  • Have any previous surveys or test results ready
  • Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
  • Warn neighbours if needed

The scope of Artex removal

So you know what to expect:

  • We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
  • Other materials may need their own approach
  • We need the room cleared

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

Common materials

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

Textured ceilings in Feltham

A school like St Lawrence Catholic Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested. If your home is one of the older properties in Feltham, near Christ Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

What it costs

The biggest factors in the price are:

  • Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
  • How much there is
  • Access to the area
  • What the material is and its state

Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

What to photograph

The most useful photos are:

  • An idea of size
  • A closer photo of the material, without touching it
  • The parking area
  • Damaged areas

To get a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Can I do it myself?

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

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

  • Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
  • Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
