Asbestos help in Temple Valley

Artex removal in Temple Valley

For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and flaking textured ceilings, including Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.

In towns and villages like Temple Valley, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

The process

Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, for disposal at a permitted site. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on.

  1. Describe the rooms and coatings
  2. We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
  3. We plan the method and quote
  4. The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
  5. We clean up and dispose of the waste legally

Before we arrive

  • Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
  • Keep children and pets away on the day
  • Let us know if something’s broken

FAQs for Temple Valley

Do you come out to small villages like Temple Valley?

We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.

How far is Temple Valley from London?

We cover Temple Valley, about 58 miles from central London.

Do you work in flats?

Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

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

Can asbestos go in my bin?

Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.

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

A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

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

Do you work on commercial premises?

Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Temple Valley

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

People generally contact us about one of these:

  • Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
  • Extensions that cut into ceilings
  • Coatings damaged by leaks
  • Ceilings before downlights go in

For rented flats close to Winchester station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
  • What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
  • What isn’t included
  • Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab

Choosing an asbestos contractor

Doing it yourself?

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

If you run a business from older premises in Temple Valley, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Options to consider in Temple Valley

DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Why us?

  • Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
  • Written quotes that say what’s included
  • London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
  • We identify first and remove only what needs removing
