Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
What affects the price in Foxcotte

- The category of work

Foxcotte questions
Is the Artex in my Foxcotte home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work near Andover station?
Yes, we cover Foxcotte and the area towards Andover station, about 1.2 miles south-east.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do you work in Foxcotte?
Yes, Foxcotte is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
Where asbestos turns up
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings damaged by DIY
For a school such as Harrow Way Community School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
Before booking anyone
- The method and controls
- The scope of the job, in writing
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note

Weighing up your options
