Artex removal for Jennett's Park

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Jennett's Park

Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.

Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:

  • Rented flats before redecoration
  • Ceilings before downlights go in
  • Ceilings coming down
  • Coatings scraped during DIY

Older homes across Jennett's Park may have coatings added during past renovations.

Before you book anyone

  • The scope of the job, in writing
  • Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
  • If the price includes VAT
  • Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed

Choosing an asbestos contractor

How artex removal works in Jennett's Park

Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Whether it’s ceilings before downlights go in and coatings scraped during DIY, we cover swirl patterns, textured walls and coated plasterboard and more.

In a smaller place like Jennett's Park, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What it might be made of

Artex ceilings

We test each different coating.

Patched areas

Patches may be newer material.

DIY and asbestos

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

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Prices and what affects them

The cost depends on:

  • The size of the job
  • Access: height, lofts, steps and space
  • The category of work
  • Waste quantity and disposal

Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

What to photograph

Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:

  • A close-up from a safe distance
  • The parking area
  • Approximate dimensions
  • Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely

To get a quote, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Responsibilities for owners

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

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Step by step

On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.

  1. Describe the coatings and rooms
  2. We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
  3. If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
  4. We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
  5. We clean up and send the waste paperwork

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Don’t disturb the material before we get there
  • Tell us about anything that’s already damaged

What happens next

Share the paperwork with your trades.

A few practical points:

  • Empty the rooms in advance
  • Test every different coating
  • Send photos of the coatings
  • Book your plasterer after removal

Avoid these

Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.

Options to consider in Jennett's Park

Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Jennett's Park: your questions answered

Is asbestos common in Jennett's Park homes?

That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Jennett's Park can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

How far is Jennett's Park from London?

Jennett's Park is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.

Can you help a business or landlord?

We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

Can I just skim over it?

You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.

Could my home contain asbestos?

If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.

How can I get a price?

Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.

Do I need a test or a survey?

Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

  • Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
  • Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
  • Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
  • Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
