Charter Alley questions

Do you cover small places like Charter Alley?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.

Do you cover Charter Alley and the area around Bramley (Hants) station?

Yes, we cover Charter Alley and the area towards Bramley (Hants) station, about 3.8 miles east.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to every area involved in the job.

How much does Artex removal cost in Charter Alley?

It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.

How quickly can you come out?

It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?

Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.

Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?

It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll explain the options.

What it costs

These are the main things that affect the price of Artex removal:

  • Waste quantity and disposal
  • Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
  • How easy it is to reach
  • The number of samples or the size of the building

What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Photos that help

Before you send photos, a few tips:

  • A wide shot showing where the material is
  • The access route
  • Approximate dimensions
  • A closer photo of the material, without touching it

You’ll get a written quote. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details.

For businesses and landlords in Charter Alley

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Charter Alley must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Should you do it yourself?

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Which option is right?

A test before removal can save money: a clear result means normal methods. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
