Where asbestos turns up

Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.

Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:

Coatings in the way of electrical work
Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
Structural work through coated ceilings
Rented flats before redecoration

A school like Holyport CofE Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

What your quote should include

How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Whether the job needs notifying
How the work will be done, and the controls used

What to check before booking

Artex removal in Holyport

Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. We often deal with coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and ceilings before plastering.

Village homes like those in Holyport have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Doing it yourself?

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

How we price Artex removal

When we quote, we look at:

The survey scope
Travel and parking
Waste quantity and disposal
The size of the job

Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

What to photograph

Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:

The parking area
An idea of size
A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Labels, if any

Every job is quoted in writing. Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.

What’s included, and what is not

Some limits to bear in mind:

Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
Other materials may need their own approach

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

Materials in Holyport

Responsibilities for owners

If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Holyport, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Looking after things afterwards

Covered coatings should be recorded.

Staying safe afterwards:

Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Book your plasterer after removal
Each different coating needs testing
File the test result and waste note

Things not to do

Hold off on drilling until you have a result.

Plan testing before the renovation starts.

Common questions in Holyport

Do you work near Maidenhead station?

Yes, we cover Holyport and the area towards Maidenhead station, about 1.8 miles north.

Do you come out to small villages like Holyport?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.

Is it OK to scrape off Artex?

Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.

Can I just skim over it?

It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.

What does it cost to remove Artex?

Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.

Can you help a business or landlord?

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

Should I take the ceiling down instead?

Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
