How artex removal works in Haylands
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical jobs include ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and landlord refurbishments, including Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
In Haylands, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Questions from Haylands
Is the Artex in my Haylands home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do older homes in Haylands have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Haylands can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Haylands
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings before plastering
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
If you are refurbishing flats near Ryde St Johns Road station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

The coast is within about 2 miles of Haylands; indoor work like textured coating removal is not affected by the weather.

- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date

For businesses and landlords in Haylands
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Materials, one by one
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Your options compared
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. 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.
