How artex removal works in Minley
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Typical jobs include coatings already disturbed and extensions that cut into ceilings, involving textured walls, swirl patterns and stipple finishes.
In areas like Minley, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Artex removal around Minley
Minley is about 2 miles south of Yateley, in Hampshire. Minley has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We cover all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire. We work right across the region, from Minley to Reading (about 11 miles away).
Non-domestic buildings like Frogmore Community College should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start. If your home is one of the older properties in Minley, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Minley were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Minley: your questions answered
Do older homes in Minley have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Minley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
