Artex removal for Well
Artex removal near Well
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in Well. Whether it’s ceilings before downlights go in and coatings damaged by leaks, we deal with coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard and more.
Rural homes near Well have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Where asbestos turns up
Most problems come during renovation: sanding, dry scraping or drilling releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Landlord refurbishments
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings before plastering
If you’re refurbishing flats near Bentley (Hampshire) station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Well 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.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Nearby places to Well
Well: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Well?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes, we cover Well and the area towards Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 2.9 miles south-east.
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.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How much does Artex removal cost in Well?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.

Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- What the material is and its state
- The size of the job
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access to the area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
