About our artex removal in Northbridge Street
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Northbridge Street, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. People often contact us about damaged or cracked coatings and ceilings before skimming, including textured walls, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses.
Rural homes near Northbridge Street have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Choosing the right option
A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

A closer look at the materials
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
FAQs for Northbridge Street
Do textured ceilings in Northbridge Street homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Could my house in Northbridge Street contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Northbridge Street may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How much does Artex removal cost in Northbridge Street?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
