Asbestos help in Timsbury

DIY and asbestos

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Artex removal near Timsbury

Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. From ceilings coming down and coatings in the way of electrical work, we deal with Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated plasterboard.

Rural homes near Timsbury have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Materials we deal with

Textured walls

Walls can have textured coatings too.

Painted coatings

Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.

After the job

Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.

After the job, keep these in mind:

  • Give us room sizes
  • Send photos of the coatings
  • Line up the plasterer for afterwards
  • Plan around the closed rooms

Don’ts

Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Timsbury

Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

  • Ceilings before downlights go in
  • Coatings already disturbed
  • Walls before tiling
  • Flaking textured ceilings

If you are refurbishing flats near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
  • Where the waste goes, with paperwork
  • How the work will be done, and the controls used
  • Any exclusions

Questions from Timsbury

Do older homes in Timsbury have asbestos?

Any home in Timsbury built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you cover small places like Timsbury?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.

What does it cost to remove Artex?

It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.

Can you help a business or landlord?

Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.

How dangerous is asbestos?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.

Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?

You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.

Can you quote from photos?

Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

The process

We bag and label the waste as we work, then taken to a permitted site. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.

  1. Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
  2. We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
  3. We plan the method and quote
  4. We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
  5. We clean up and dispose of the waste legally

How to prepare

  • Keep the area clear of children and pets
  • Don’t disturb the material before we get there
  • Have any previous surveys or test results ready
