More about this service

Artex removal for Tangley properties

Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, across Tangley. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and textured walls, and people usually contact us about coatings already disturbed and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.

Rural homes near Tangley have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Tangley: your questions answered

Do you cover Tangley from London?

We cover Tangley, about 64 miles from central London.

Do you cover Tangley and the area around Andover station?

Yes, we cover Tangley and the area towards Andover station, about 4.6 miles south.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

Can I stay at home while you work?

The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.

Will I get the price in writing?

Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.

How can I get a price?

Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Can you help with a flat?

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

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

What happens

If we’re taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.

  1. Tell us which rooms and surfaces
  2. We sample each coating
  3. If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
  4. The coating is removed with controls
  5. We clean up and send the waste paperwork

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the way to the work area
  • Mention any parking restrictions
  • Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

Ask for a quote

We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

After the job

Share the paperwork with your trades.

Going forward:

  • Keep pets out of the work area
  • Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
  • Photos help us quote
  • Plan around the closed rooms

Don’ts

Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.

Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.

What affects the price in Tangley

What changes the cost:

  • How much waste there is
  • Travel and parking
  • How much there is
  • The category of work

Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Photos that help

The most useful photos are:

  • The parking area
  • Cracks or breaks
  • The access route
  • A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Not sure what you need? Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll advise.

Why people call us in Tangley

Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.

In older properties, we often see:

  • Ceilings before plastering
  • Coatings damaged by DIY
  • Textured walls before a refit
  • Rented flats before redecoration

If you are refurbishing a rental near Andover station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

What to look for in a quote

  • VAT, clearly stated
  • The scope of the job, in writing
  • That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
  • Any exclusions

Choosing an asbestos contractor

For businesses and landlords in Tangley

If you run a business from older premises in Tangley, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

If you manage or own a block in Tangley, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
