Artex removal in The Hangers

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Artex removal for The Hangers properties
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in The Hangers. Common materials are coated plasterboard, textured walls and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are rented homes refurbished between tenants and ceilings before downlights go in.
Rural homes near The Hangers have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Materials, one by one
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
After we’ve finished in The Hangers
Covered coatings should be recorded.
A few practical points:
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Test every different coating
- File the test result and waste note
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Things not to do
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.

The Hangers: your questions answered
How far is The Hangers from London?
The Hangers is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do textured ceilings in The Hangers homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How much does Artex removal cost in The Hangers?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
