Need Artex removal in Bowling Alley?
Bowling Alley: your questions answered
Do you work near Winchfield station?
Yes. Winchfield station is about 3.4 miles north-west of Bowling Alley, and we cover both.
Do you cover Bowling Alley from London?
Bowling Alley is about 38 miles from central London, well within our area.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Artex removal in Bowling Alley
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include coatings in the way of electrical work and ceilings before plastering, including swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses.
In places like Bowling Alley, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Options to consider in Bowling Alley
A test before removal can save money: a clear result means normal methods. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
