Need Artex removal in Newick?

For landlords, agents and businesses

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

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

How artex removal works in Newick

Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Newick. From extensions that cut into ceilings and structural work through coated ceilings, we cover textured walls, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings.

In a village like Newick, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Your questions about Artex removal in Newick

Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?

Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.

Do you work near Uckfield station?

Yes, we cover Newick and the area towards Uckfield station, about 3.6 miles east.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.

Can you help with a flat?

We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Can I stay at home while you work?

Normally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.

Can I just skim over it?

You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.

Is Artex removal licensed work?

Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.

Looking after things afterwards

The surface is left ready for making good.

If asbestos stays in the building:

Each different coating needs testing
Book your plasterer after removal
Send photos of the coatings
Empty the rooms in advance

Avoid these

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

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

Which option is right?

A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask about the method and the waste. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
