For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hartley Wintney must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site

- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Helpful guides
FAQs for Hartley Wintney
Do textured ceilings in Hartley Wintney homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Hartley Wintney and the area around Winchfield station?
Yes. Winchfield station is about 1.4 miles south of Hartley Wintney, and we cover both.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you cover Hartley Wintney?
Yes, Hartley Wintney is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
