Hope Valley

The Hope Valley is a rural area centred on the village of Hope, Derbyshire in the Peak District in the north Midlands of England. The name also puts on the blog post town that consists of the surrounding towns. Although the Hope Valley seems a solitary valley, the name of the river modifications numerous times. The head of the valley exists below Mam Tor at Castleton. From here, the Peakshole Water flows to Hope, where it enters the reduced reaches of the River Noe, which has actually flowed from Edale. The Noe after that streams to Bamford, where it goes into the River Derwent, which has actually taken a trip about 10 miles from Bleaklow. The valley is now technically the Derwent Valley, yet the term "Hope Valley" is still made use of as the Derwent moves with Hathersage and also Grindleford. Various other streams in the area consist of the Burbage Brook, which runs down from Burbage Valley with Padley Gorge and right into the River Derwent near Grindleford station. The location is a prominent traveler destination, specifically as the Hope Valley Line railway from Sheffield to Manchester runs through it, from the western end of the Totley Tunnel near Grindleford to the eastern end of the Cowburn Tunnel near Edale. In the centre of the valley is a long-standing cement manufacturing facility, the UK's most significant, run by Hope Construction Materials. It is somewhat notorious in your area since it is a noticeable industrial operation in the middle of a National Park and also is extremely noticeable from lots of locations. Nonetheless, the factory supplies important local work outside the tourist sector.

FAQs

Can you plaster over artex?

If your artex ceiling is looking tired or you just fancy a change, you can try plastering over your artex. You have two options when it comes to plastering over your artex: plasterboard or skimming.

Covering your ceiling with plasterboard is a good option if you suspect the artex may contain asbestos. If done carefully, it doesn’t involve disturbing the artex, reducing the risk of asbestos exposure.

You also have the option to skim over your ceiling. The first steps to this involve removing loose and flaking parts, cutting off stipples and sanding your ceiling down. So, if there’s a chance your artex ceiling may contain asbestos, this isn’t the right solution for you. However, if you’re sure there’s no asbestos in your ceiling, then sanding down and skimming over your ceiling can be a great way to create an attractive result.

It’s worth noting that both putting up plasterboard and skimming plaster can be difficult jobs. Although possible to DIY, you’re likely to get much better results if you hire a professional.

Does artex contain asbestos?

Artex was originally made using white asbestos to make it stronger. However, this stopped in the mid-1980s, and the use of asbestos was banned in the UK in 1999, due to its extreme health risks. So, any artex you buy today won’t contain asbestos.

If you have an artex ceiling or wall that was created before 1999, it may have asbestos in it. This won’t be a health hazard if you leave it undisturbed, so it’s not necessary to remove it. However, if you want to get rid of or alter your artex ceiling or wall, you must get it tested to check if it has asbestos in or not first. If it does, you’ll need to hire a qualified professional to work on it.

What is artex?

Artex is a type of interior surface coating, similar to plaster. It’s used to create decorative textured finishes on ceilings and walls, so it takes longer to dry than plaster.

Artex is actually a brand name, but it’s used to refer to similar products made by other manufacturers too. It was particularly popular in the 1970s, but is still used to create attractive wall and ceiling finishes today.

How to paint an artex ceiling?

It’s possible to paint your artex ceiling if you want to smarten it up or make it a different colour.

If it’s never been painted before, you’ll need to paint it with a PVA-based solution or water-thinned paint layer to start with. You may want to scrape or sand off any loose or peeling patches beforehand, but only do this if you’re sure that the artex doesn’t contain any asbestos.

Once you’ve done this, follow with two coats of your paint of choice – ideally an emulsion. If your artex ceiling has been painted before then you can paint directly without priming. However, if you’re painting over a particularly bold colour with a lighter one, you might want apply a layer of white paint first.
