Artex removal near Mattingley
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Typical jobs include coatings scraped during DIY and walls before tiling, involving swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard.
Rural homes near Mattingley have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Step by step
Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, then taken to a permitted site. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- 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
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Clear the way to the work area

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Mattingley, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Questions from Mattingley
Do you work near Hook station?
Yes, we cover Mattingley and the area towards Hook station, about 2.5 miles south.
Do you come out to small villages like Mattingley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
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 recommend one for each room.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
