Asbestos help in Ningwood

How artex removal works in Ningwood

Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. From ceilings before plastering and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we deal with coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and textured walls and more.

Village homes like those in Ningwood have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We only recommend work that’s needed.

FAQs for Ningwood

Is the Artex in my Ningwood home asbestos?

Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Is asbestos common in Ningwood homes?

Any home in Ningwood built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

What if my house is newer?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

Can you quote from photos?

Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.

Which option is right?

Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

The scope of Artex removal

Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:

  • Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
  • Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
  • Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Materials in Ningwood

  • Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
  • Patched or painted coatings
  • Textured walls
  • Artex ceilings
  • Coated plasterboard
  • Swirl and stipple patterns

More about this service

Duty holders and landlords in Ningwood

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

For managing agents and freeholders in Ningwood, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.

After the job

The surface is left ready for making good.

A few practical points:

  • Keep pets out of the work area
  • Each different coating needs testing
  • Clear the rooms before the work
  • Plan around the closed rooms

Avoid these

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

What affects the price in Ningwood

What drives the price:

  • How easy it is to reach

What to photograph:

  • Damaged areas
  • Where we could park

  • How we’d reach it

To get a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.

Where asbestos turns up

Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.

You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:

  • Loft conversions
  • Ceilings before plastering
  • Coatings damaged by DIY
  • Structural work through coated ceilings

Non-domestic buildings like Shalfleet Church of England Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How fibres will be kept down
  • What category of work it is
  • How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
  • Any exclusions

How to choose an asbestos contractor

The process

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 which rooms and surfaces
  2. We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
  3. If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
  4. The coating is removed with controls
  5. We clean up and send the waste paperwork

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep the area clear of children and pets
  • Mention any parking restrictions
  • Have any previous surveys or test results ready
