Textured walls

Walls can have textured coatings too.

Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.

About our artex removal in Tyler's Green

Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Common materials are swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard, and people generally contact us about loft conversions and extensions and flaking textured ceilings.

In a village like Tyler's Green, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Why people call us in Tyler's Green

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

Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:

  • Landlord refurbishments
  • Ceilings before plastering
  • Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
  • Ceilings before downlights go in

For a school such as Godstone Village School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
  • That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
  • VAT, clearly stated
  • Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed

What to check before booking

What happens

We start by sealing and protecting the room, then keep the coating wet throughout. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.

  1. Describe the coatings and rooms
  2. We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
  3. If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
  4. The coating is removed with controls
  5. The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away on the day
  • Dig out previous surveys
  • Let us know where we can park

For businesses and landlords in Tyler's Green

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Good to know

The usual limits are:

  • Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
  • Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
  • We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything

Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

More about this service

Should you do it yourself?

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Tyler's Green questions

Is the Artex in my Tyler's Green home asbestos?

Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Do you come out to small villages like Tyler's Green?

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

Is asbestos dangerous?

Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.

Is my textured ceiling in Tyler's Green asbestos?

Not necessarily, as many don’t. A test will tell you.

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 generally are not licensed.

Could my home contain asbestos?

Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

What happens next

We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.

Going forward:

  • File the test result and waste note
  • Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
  • Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
  • Book your plasterer after removal

What to avoid

Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
