Artex removal for Pennington properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Pennington, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Whether it’s loft conversions and extensions and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we deal with stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses and more.
In Pennington, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Options to consider in Pennington
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is generally better. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Could my house in Pennington contain asbestos?

Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Pennington, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Why people call us in Pennington
