How artex removal works in Sherfield on Loddon
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. People often contact us about damaged or cracked coatings and extensions that cut into ceilings, involving coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and textured walls.
Rural homes near Sherfield on Loddon have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Duty holders and landlords in Sherfield on Loddon

FAQs for Sherfield on Loddon
Do you work near Bramley (Hants) station?
Yes. Bramley (Hants) station is about 1.7 miles north-west of Sherfield on Loddon, and we cover both.
Is the Artex in my Sherfield on Loddon home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
