Landlords, managing agents and employers

For managing agents and freeholders in Elvetham Heath, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Common questions in Elvetham Heath

Do you cover Elvetham Heath from London?

Elvetham Heath is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.

Is the Artex in my Elvetham Heath home asbestos?

Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.

Do I need a test or a survey?

A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

Do you cover Elvetham Heath?

Yes, Elvetham Heath is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

Does someone need to be there?

Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.

Does all Artex contain asbestos?

Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.

What affects the price in Elvetham Heath

We base our quote on:

  • How much there is
  • Location, parking and any London charges
  • The type of material and its condition
  • The number of samples or the size of the building

What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Typical Artex jobs in Elvetham Heath

Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.

These are some of the things we deal with in Elvetham Heath:

  • Extensions that cut into ceilings
  • Flaking textured ceilings
  • Rented flats before redecoration
  • Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed

A school like Elvetham Heath Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

What your quote should include

  • What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
  • Suitable insurance for the work
  • What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
  • VAT, clearly stated

Choosing an asbestos contractor

What happens

At the end, the room is cleaned and checked before the seals come down. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on.

  1. Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
  2. We sample each different coating for testing
  3. If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
  4. The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
  5. The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions
  • Clear access to the area, loft or garage
  • Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Ask for a quote

We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Can I do it myself?

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
