Artex removal near Nyewood

How artex removal works in Nyewood

Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Nyewood. People often contact us about ceilings before plastering and coatings damaged by DIY, involving swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes.

Village homes like those in Nyewood have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your questions about Artex removal in Nyewood

Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?

Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.

How far is Nyewood from London?

We cover Nyewood, about 48 miles from central London.

Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?

Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.

Is my textured ceiling in Nyewood asbestos?

Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.

Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?

Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.

Is asbestos dangerous?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.

Do you give written quotes?

Yes, always.

What paperwork will I get?

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

Options to consider in Nyewood

Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

For managing agents and freeholders in Nyewood, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Why people call us in Nyewood

People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:

  • Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
  • Structural work through coated ceilings
  • Coatings scraped during DIY
  • Damaged or cracked coatings

If you’re refurbishing flats near Petersfield station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Before booking anyone

  • Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
  • Suitable insurance for the work
  • That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
  • Whether the job needs notifying

How to choose an asbestos contractor

Step by step

We bag and label the waste as we work, for disposal at a permitted site. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum.

  1. Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
  2. We sample the coating first
  3. If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
  4. We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
  5. The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure we can get to the area
  • Find any old asbestos reports
  • Warn neighbours if needed

After we have finished in Nyewood

If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.

Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:

  • Keep pets out of the work area
  • Test every different coating
  • Plan around the closed rooms
  • Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are

Things not to do

Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

Hold off on drilling until you have a result.

What affects the price in Nyewood

The biggest factors in the price are:

  • How much waste there is
  • Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
  • The survey scope
  • The quantity or area

Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

What to photograph

When you send photos, these help most:

  • The access route
  • A clear close-up
  • A wide shot showing where the material is
  • Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Should you do it yourself?

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

  • Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
