Hartfordbridge questions
Do you work near Winchfield station?
Yes, we cover Hartfordbridge and the area towards Winchfield station, about 2.3 miles south.
How far is Hartfordbridge from London?
We cover Hartfordbridge, about 37 miles from central London.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
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.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise for each room.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Hartfordbridge
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings coming down
If your home is one of the older properties in Hartfordbridge, near All Souls Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Questions to ask before you book
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What category of work it is
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Limits to be aware of
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- 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.
What we deal with
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
