Your questions about Artex removal in Odiham
Do you cover Odiham and the area around Hook station?
Yes, we cover Odiham and the area towards Hook station, about 2.1 miles north-west.
Could my house in Odiham contain asbestos?
Any home in Odiham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is my textured ceiling in Odiham asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Looking after things afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
After we’ve finished:
- File the test result and waste note
- Test every different coating
- Give us room sizes
- Keep pets out of the work area
What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Weighing up your options
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Test first. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
