Your questions about Artex removal in Wecock Farm
Do you cover Wecock Farm from London?
We cover Wecock Farm, about 58 miles from central London.
Do you work near Rowlands Castle station?
Yes. Rowlands Castle station is about 3.3 miles east of Wecock Farm, and we cover both.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
What happens next
The surface is left ready for making good.
Some practical advice:
- Test every different coating
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- File the test result and waste note
What to avoid
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- We need the room cleared
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings

For businesses and landlords in Wecock Farm
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Wecock Farm must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Should you do 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.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
The process
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, never sanded or scraped dry. Parking close by makes the day easier.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
How to prepare
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
