Common reasons for Artex jobs in New Southgate
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, which can make them crumble.
Typical jobs in New Southgate include:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings already disturbed
If your home is one of the older properties in New Southgate, near St Paul's Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What category of work it is
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Materials we deal with
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.
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
Questions from New Southgate
Do textured ceilings in New Southgate homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in New Southgate homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in New Southgate may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
