About artex removal in Hampshire

According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Typical jobs include coatings in the way of electrical work and rented flats before redecoration, including swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.

We soften the coating and take it off by hand, never sanded or scraped dry.

Hampshire: textured coatings in homes

In Hampshire, renovation is when textured ceilings get noticed, in Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport and smaller places alike. Parts of Hampshire are within a few miles of the New Forest National Park, the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where rural and farm buildings with cement roofs are common. Around 143 places in Hampshire are close to the coast, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.

Basingstoke: If you’re refurbishing flats near Basingstoke station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings. If your home is one of the older properties in Basingstoke, near St Michael's Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hampshire must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

FAQs for Hampshire

Do you work in Hampshire?

Yes, we do: our area includes Hampshire and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.

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.

Can I just skim over it?

It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.

What if the weather’s bad?

That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
