Asbestos help in Up Nately
Typical Artex jobs in Up Nately
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
If your home is one of the older properties in Up Nately, near Church of St. Stephen or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

How artex removal works in Up Nately
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Up Nately. Typical jobs include ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and coatings damaged by leaks, including Artex ceilings, textured walls and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Up Nately have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Looking after things afterwards
File the result and the paperwork.
Going forward:

Don’ts
Test before the builders arrive.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.

- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
How to prepare

What else we do in Up Nately
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Your options compared
Testing first can save a lot: a clear result means normal methods. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Up Nately questions
Do you cover small places like Up Nately?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Up Nately from London?
Up Nately is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will advise for each room.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
