Artex removal for Goldsworth Park properties

Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in Goldsworth Park. Whether it’s loft conversions and extensions and damaged or cracked coatings, we cover coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and stipple finishes.

Homes in places like Goldsworth Park may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Limits to be aware of

A few things to be aware of:

  • Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
  • We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
  • Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately

Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we see

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

Weighing up your options

Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Why people choose us

  • Records for your files
  • Written quotes that say what’s included
  • Accredited laboratory results
  • We identify first and remove only what needs removing

Afterwards

If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.

Once we’re done:

  • Book your plasterer after removal
  • Keep pets away
  • Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
  • Empty the rooms in advance

Avoid these

Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.

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

A closer look at the materials

Patched areas

Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.

Ceiling roses and cornices

Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.

Can I do it myself?

A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Common questions in Goldsworth Park

Could my house in Goldsworth Park contain asbestos?

Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do textured ceilings in Goldsworth Park homes contain asbestos?

Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

Can I just skim over it?

Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.

Does weather affect the work?

Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

Do you give written quotes?

Always: you get the scope and price in writing.

Does asbestos always have to come out?

Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
