Artex removal for Lurgashall
Lurgashall: your questions answered
Is the Artex in my Lurgashall home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do older homes in Lurgashall have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
How much does Artex removal cost in Lurgashall?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
About our artex removal in Lurgashall
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. People often contact us about ceilings due for plastering or skimming and loft conversions and extensions, including Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
Rural homes near Lurgashall have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

What it might be made of
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is usually better. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
