How artex removal works in Sheet

Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. From ceilings before downlights go in and coatings already disturbed, we cover coated ceiling roses, textured walls and Artex ceilings and more.

Village homes like those in Sheet have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Artex in Sheet homes

Sheet is about 1 mile north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Sheet is part of the area we cover, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. We work in 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Sheet to Guildford (22 miles away).

If you are refurbishing flats near Petersfield station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings. If your home is one of the older properties in Sheet, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation. Parts of the South Downs National Park are within about 2 miles of Sheet; cottages and farmhouses nearby can have textured coatings too.

This part of Hampshire takes in GU32 and GU31. Whether your property is on Mill Lane, Village Street and Farnham Road or anywhere nearby, the process is the same. For properties just outside Sheet, we cover Petersfield (1 mile south-west), Steep (1 mile north-west), Steep Marsh (1 mile north-west), Stroud (2 miles west) and Oakshott (2 miles north-west). Further out, we also cover Havant (11 miles south), Horndean (8 miles south-west), Alton (10 miles north), Waterlooville (10 miles south-west), Purbrook (11 miles south-west) and Bordon (7 miles north).

Well-known places in the area include Petersfield Community Hospital (1.3 miles south-west) and Bear Museum (1.1 miles south-west). Open spaces near Sheet include Liss Riverside Railway Walk South and Wheatham Hill.

  • Nearby schools include Churcher's College (0.6 miles south-west) and The Petersfield School (1.4 miles south-west)
  • Nearby, you will find The Queens Head pub (within half a mile south)

Doing it yourself?

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Why people call us in Sheet

Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.

Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:

  • Coatings scraped during DIY
  • Coatings in the way of electrical work
  • Loft conversions
  • Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit

Non-domestic buildings like Sheet Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.

Questions to ask before booking

  • For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
  • VAT, clearly stated
  • The method and controls
  • That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

Duty holders and landlords in Sheet

If you manage or own a block in Sheet, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Looking after things afterwards

The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.

Some practical advice:

  • Book your plasterer after removal
  • Send photos of the coatings
  • Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
  • Keep pets away

Don’ts

Hold off on drilling until you have a result.

Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.

A closer look at the materials

Patched areas

Different areas may need separate samples.

Textured walls

They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.

Your options compared

A test before removal can save money: a clear result means normal methods. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

What you get

  • Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
  • We identify first and remove only what needs removing
  • Jobs planned to HSE guidance
  • Homes, rented property and workplaces

See our prices page and our cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

These are the main things that affect the price of Artex removal:

  • How much waste there is
  • The quantity or area
  • Access to the area
  • Licensed or non-licensed

Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

What to photograph

Photos often save us a visit:

  • Visible markings
  • A clear close-up
  • Cracks or breaks
  • The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.

How it works

On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum.

  1. Describe the coatings and rooms
  2. We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
  3. If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
  4. The coating is removed with controls
  5. We clean up and send the waste paperwork

Before we arrive

  • Find any old asbestos reports
  • Warn neighbours if needed
  • Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

FAQs for Sheet

Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?

Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.

Do you cover Sheet and the area around Petersfield station?

Yes, we cover Sheet and the area towards Petersfield station, about 1.1 miles south-west.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

When can you start?

We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.

Do you need a licence to remove Artex?

Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.

Can you help with a shop or office?

Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
