Questions from Elvetham
Do you work near Fleet station?
Yes. Fleet station is about 1.8 miles east of Elvetham, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in Elvetham homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.

- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much there is
- The category of work
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.

- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A clear close-up

For businesses and landlords in Elvetham
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Limits to be aware of
Before you book, note that:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Coatings damaged by DIY
Older homes across Elvetham may have coatings added during past renovations.
