What we deal with in Queens Park

Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.

These come up again and again:

  • Textured walls before a refit
  • Coatings damaged by leaks
  • Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
  • Rented flats before redecoration

A school like Aylesbury Grammar School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

What to check before you book

Artex removal in Queens Park

Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, across Queens Park. Typical materials include swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard, and people generally contact us about walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and ceilings before downlights go in.

Homes in towns and villages like Queens Park may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so test each different coating. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Common questions in Queens Park

How far is Queens Park from London?

We cover Queens Park, about 37 miles from central London.

Do you cover Queens Park and the area around Aylesbury station?

Yes, we cover Queens Park and the area towards Aylesbury station, about 0.5 miles west.

Is asbestos dangerous?

Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.

What does licensed work mean?

Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

What if my house is newer?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.

Does asbestos always have to come out?

Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

Do you work in flats?

Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Prices and what affects them

When we quote, we look at:

  • The category of work
  • Disposal costs
  • Travel and parking
  • How many samples are needed

The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Photos that help

Helpful photos:

  • A wide shot showing where the material is
  • Approximate dimensions
  • A closer photo of the material, without touching it
  • The access route

For a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Doing it yourself?

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Materials, one by one

Textured walls

They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.

Ceiling roses and cornices

Roses and cornices may be coated.

What we do and do not cover

Before you book, note that:

  • Other materials may need their own approach
  • Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
  • Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Common materials

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

Service details

The process

We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly before the seals come down. We will tell you when we have finished and what you’ll receive afterwards.

  1. Describe the rooms and coatings
  2. We sample the coating first
  3. We plan the method and quote
  4. We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
  5. We clean up and dispose of the waste legally

Preparing for the visit

  • Warn neighbours if needed
  • Mention any damage before we arrive
  • Don’t disturb the material before we get there

Your options compared

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 normally better. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
