What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
The scope of Artex removal
To be clear about the scope:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used

Weighing up your options
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is generally better. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Badger Farm: your questions answered
Could my house in Badger Farm contain asbestos?
If your home in Badger Farm was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Badger Farm and the area around Winchester station?
Yes, we cover Badger Farm and the area towards Winchester station, about 1.5 miles north-east.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will explain the options.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- 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
