My house is covered with a sort of textured cement like artex only
its cement so thats why it was called cemtex when it was put on in
1931 but now its got cracks in it and some bits have come off. I can't
find a builder who can repair it or who knows anything about it and
my boyfriend says the best thing to do is to get it all off and paint
on some water seal stuff to protect the bricks. But when I asked at
the local hardware shop about how to remove it they said I should get
in touch with the council as there could be restrictions and rules
and regulations about what I could put in a skip and when I did
that they told me that they were not licenced for cemtex removal
and that I would have call in the army who would blow it up
where it was. I dont want my house to be blown up so is there
anything else I van do? Could I get away with puting a bit of
it into the rubbish bin each week or are there sites that are
licenced for cemtex disposal?

No I think having it all blown up is the only way.

Warm it up with a ciggy lighter or a blowlamp. When you get it
warm enough all of a sudden it will disapear in a flash. Brush
off the soot that will be left behind and Robert is your mothers

By flash do you mean explosion? I'm no army ordanance expert but I was
under the impression that Cemtex was very stable and if you set fire to
it then it will admittedly burn like buggery but certainly wont explode
without a proper detonator.

It is cement textured render. Tell them it is cement mortar; it is.

They're suggesting it is Semtex, a high explosive, in the mistaken
belief that they are being funny.

Given that the render was apparently applied in 1931 and that polypropylene

Hmm, South Africa, fibres bonded by cement, I would hazard a guess that the

polypropylene for fairly obvious reasons.

Deary me, the way the asbestos disposal business is these days I bet it
would be easier and cheaper to dispose of it if it was Semtex.

They may be talking about Sandtex, which is not a render but a cement
based exterior wall paint, which used to be commonly applied over a cement
render.
