Sandleheath: your questions answered
Is the Artex in my Sandleheath home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is asbestos common in Sandleheath homes?
Any home in Sandleheath built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What happens next
Covered coatings should be recorded.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Send photos of the coatings
- File the test result and waste note
Things not to do
Test before the builders arrive.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The size of the job
- Material and condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- An overall view
- Approximate dimensions
- Cracks or breaks
- Visible markings
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What we deal with in Sandleheath
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
These come up again and again:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings coming down
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
A school like The Burgate School and Sixth Form should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.
Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, clearly stated
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- What category of work it is
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Materials, one by one
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
Choosing the right option
Testing first can save a lot: a clear result means normal methods. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Reports and results you can share
- Identify first, remove only when needed
Read our prices page and published price ranges.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
