Our artex removal in Southampton

Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. People often contact us about coatings already disturbed and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, involving Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.

For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces and bagged or wrapped.

Textured ceilings across Southampton

In Southampton, renovation is when textured ceilings get noticed, in towns and villages alike. 40 of the places we cover in Southampton are within about 6 miles of the sea, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.

Southampton: If your home is one of the older properties in Southampton, near Saint Mary's or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation. A school like Bevois Town Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

Materials, one by one

Textured walls

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

Ceiling roses and cornices

We sample them if needed.

Doing it yourself?

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

For businesses and landlords in Southampton

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

If your business premises in Southampton were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

What’s included, and what isn’t

Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:

We need the room cleared
We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
Other materials may need their own approach

Your questions about Artex removal in Southampton

Will I get the price in writing?

Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.

Do you work in flats?

We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

Does weather affect the work?

It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.

Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?

It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will explain the options.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

Do you need a licence to remove Artex?

HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
