Landlords, managing agents and employers

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
About our artex removal in Milford on Sea
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Milford on Sea. Common materials are stipple finishes, textured walls and coated ceiling roses, and people normally contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and coatings scraped during DIY.
In a smaller place like Milford on Sea, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Questions from Milford on Sea
Do older homes in Milford on Sea have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Milford on Sea may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What’s the difference between a test and 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.
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.
Do you work in Milford on Sea?
Yes. We cover Milford on Sea and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Other materials may need their own approach

DIY and asbestos

What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The type of material and its condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
