Ashley properties and textured coatings
Ashley is about 4 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. We cover Ashley as part of Hampshire, for Artex jobs of every size. Ashley is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We work right across the region, from Ashley to Southampton (about 15 miles away).
If you’re refurbishing a rental near New Milton station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty. Non-domestic buildings like Ashley Junior School should already have records of any textured coatings. Parts of the New Forest National Park are within about 5 miles of Ashley, and older rural homes there often have textured ceilings from past renovations. Ashley is within about 5 miles of the coast, though indoor coating work goes ahead whatever the weather.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Choosing the right option
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What you get
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials in Ashley

Questions from Ashley
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Ashley and the area around New Milton station?
Yes. New Milton station is about 0.7 miles south-west of Ashley, and we cover both.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you work in Ashley?
We do: Ashley is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.

- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
