Landlords, managing agents and employers

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

If your business premises in Lower Beeding were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Weighing up your options

Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Common questions in Lower Beeding

Do you cover Lower Beeding from London?

Lower Beeding is about 33 miles from central London, well within our area.

Do you cover small places like Lower Beeding?

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

Do you work in flats?

Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you need a licence to remove Artex?

Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.

How do I get a quote?

Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.

Do I need to move out during Artex removal?

You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.

After the job

Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.

Once we are done:

  • Keep the results and paperwork
  • Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
  • Test every different coating
  • Empty the rooms in advance

What to avoid

Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.

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

How we work

We bag and label the waste as we work, for disposal at a permitted site. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.

  1. Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
  2. Each coating is sampled and tested
  3. We go through the options and send a quote
  4. The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
  5. We clean up and send the waste paperwork

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
  • Keep away from the material in the meantime
  • Let us know if something’s broken

Prices and what affects them

The cost depends on:

  • The type of material and its condition
  • Parking and access charges
  • Waste quantity and disposal
  • Access to the area

Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Sending photos

The most useful photos are:

  • Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
  • A wide shot showing where the material is
  • Cracks or breaks
  • A closer photo of the material, without touching it

We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

A closer look at the materials

Painted coatings

Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.

Patched areas

We may sample patches separately.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Lower Beeding

People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.

People usually contact us about one of these:

  • Walls before tiling
  • Loft conversions and extensions
  • Structural work through coated ceilings
  • Coatings in the way of electrical work

Older homes across Lower Beeding may have coatings added during past renovations.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
  • Which areas and materials are covered
  • The method and controls
  • Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

What to check before you book
