Artex removal for Lyne
About our artex removal in Lyne
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. We often deal with coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are landlord refurbishments and loft conversions and extensions.
In a village like Lyne, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Weighing up your options
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is usually best. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Your questions about Artex removal in Lyne
Is asbestos common in Lyne homes?
If your home in Lyne was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Lyne from London?
Lyne is about 21 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
For businesses and landlords in Lyne
If your business premises in Lyne were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
