Artex removal near Weston
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 Weston. Whether it’s coatings in the way of electrical work and coatings already disturbed, we deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses and more.
Rural homes near Weston have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We only recommend work that is needed.

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Weston must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Questions from Weston
Do older homes in Weston have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Petersfield station?
Yes. Petersfield station is about 1.4 miles north-east of Weston, and we cover both.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Typically you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work in Weston?
We do: our area includes Weston and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.

Things not to do
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
