How artex removal works in Bull Hill

Your questions about Artex removal in Bull Hill
Do you cover Bull Hill and the area around Lymington Town station?
Yes. Lymington Town station is about 1.8 miles south-west of Bull Hill, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Bull Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is my textured ceiling in Bull Hill asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
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.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.

- Rented flats before redecoration
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings coming down
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights

Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which does not change what’s underneath.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
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.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
