Your questions about Artex removal in Hollywater
How far is Hollywater from London?
We cover Hollywater, about 43 miles from central London.
Do you cover Hollywater and the area around Liphook station?
Yes, we cover Hollywater and the area towards Liphook station, about 3.1 miles south-east.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How much does Artex removal cost in Hollywater?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Other materials may need their own approach
