Artex removal in Hooe Common

Artex removal near Hooe Common

Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical materials include textured walls, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are loft conversions and extensions and coatings in the way of electrical work.

In places like Hooe Common, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your options compared

Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Hooe Common questions

Do you come out to small villages like Hooe Common?

We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.

Do older homes in Hooe Common have asbestos?

It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hooe Common may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.

What if my house is newer?

Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.

Can I just skim over it?

You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.

Can you help with a shop or office?

We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.

Looking after things afterwards

Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.

After the job, keep these in mind:

Photos help us quote
Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Empty the rooms in advance
Keep pets away

Avoid these

Test before the builders arrive.

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

For landlords, agents and businesses

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
