Common questions in Anna Valley
Do you cover Anna Valley and the area around Andover station?
Yes, we cover Anna Valley and the area towards Andover station, about 1.4 miles north-east.
Do older homes in Anna Valley have asbestos?
If your home in Anna Valley was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.

Afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Each different coating needs testing
- Clear the rooms before the work
What to avoid
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Your options compared
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why people choose us
- Across London and the South East
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Work done to the regulations

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
