Artex removal for Holt Pound properties
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. People often contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and damaged or cracked coatings, including coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Holt Pound have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Duty holders and landlords in Holt Pound
If you manage or own a block in Holt Pound, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What affects the price in Holt Pound
What changes the cost:
- The type of material and its condition

Holt Pound questions
Do you cover Holt Pound and the area around Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes. Bentley (Hampshire) station is about 1.5 miles west of Holt Pound, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Holt Pound?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work in Holt Pound?
Yes, we do: our area includes Holt Pound and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What we deal with in Holt Pound
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Textured walls before a refit
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
Older homes across Holt Pound may have coatings added during past renovations.
