How artex removal works in Micheldever
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. From walls before tiling and structural work through coated ceilings, we cover Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns and more.
Rural homes near Micheldever have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Micheldever questions
Could my house in Micheldever contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Micheldever may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Micheldever station?
Yes, we cover Micheldever and the area towards Micheldever station, about 2.2 miles north.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
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.
What we deal with in Micheldever
