Typical Artex jobs in Glynde
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Landlord refurbishments
For a school such as Science and Technology Policy Research, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
About our artex removal in Glynde
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Common materials are stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns, and people typically contact us about rented flats before redecoration and loft conversions and extensions.
Village homes like those in Glynde have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

FAQs for Glynde
Could my house in Glynde contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Glynde may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Glynde?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
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.

Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, but the coating underneath is the same.
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
After the job
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Photos help us quote
- File the test result and waste note
- Book your plasterer after removal
Don’ts
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
The process
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and keep the room closed while we work. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Getting ready
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Dig out previous surveys
