About our artex removal in Bentworth
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and textured walls, and people generally contact us about coatings damaged by leaks and ceilings before downlights go in.
Village homes like those in Bentworth have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Yes, we cover Bentworth and the area towards Alton station, about 3.5 miles east.
Do older homes in Bentworth have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Bentworth may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.

Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
