How artex removal works in Stanwell Moor

If your renovation in Stanwell Moor involves textured ceilings, test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. People often contact us about loft conversions and extensions and damaged or cracked coatings, including Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.

Rural homes near Stanwell Moor have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Your questions about Artex removal in Stanwell Moor

Do you cover Stanwell Moor from London?

Stanwell Moor is about 18 miles from central London, well within our area.

Do you work near Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station?

Yes. Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station is about 0.8 miles north-east of Stanwell Moor, and we cover both.

When can you start?

It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

Does weather affect the work?

That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.

What does licensed work mean?

Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.

Should I take the ceiling down instead?

It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise for each room.

What happens

Our team wears protective equipment, and keep the room closed while we work. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first.

  1. Send photos of the textured surfaces
  2. We test a sample of each coating
  3. We talk through the options
  4. We carry out the removal
  5. The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note

Before we arrive

  • Move things out of the way carefully
  • Mention any parking restrictions
  • Keep away from the material in the meantime

Helpful guides

Should you do it yourself?

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Choosing the right option

You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
