Fisher's Pond questions
Do you cover Fisher's Pond and the area around Eastleigh station?
Yes. Eastleigh station is about 2.3 miles south-west of Fisher's Pond, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Fisher's Pond?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Fisher's Pond
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings before skimming
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
For rented flats close to Eastleigh station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
