Looking after things afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep pets away
- File the test result and waste note
- Give us room sizes
Avoid these
Test before the builders arrive.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
For businesses and landlords in Privett
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What it might be made of
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.

Your questions about Artex removal in Privett
Is the Artex in my Privett home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work near Portsmouth Harbour station?
Yes. Portsmouth Harbour station is about 2.3 miles east of Privett, and we cover both.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.

Can I do it myself?

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

What’s in and what’s out:
- Other materials may need their own approach

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
