Artex removal in Ashurst Bridge
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Ashurst Bridge. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and textured walls, and typical jobs are structural work through coated ceilings and coatings damaged by leaks.
In places like Ashurst Bridge, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Questions from Ashurst Bridge
Do textured ceilings in Ashurst Bridge homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Ashurst Bridge homes?
If your home in Ashurst Bridge was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Ashurst Bridge?
Yes, we do: Ashurst Bridge is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Is my textured ceiling in Ashurst Bridge asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.

Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
What we deal with in Ashurst Bridge
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
In older properties, we often see:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings coming down
A school like Hazel Wood Infant School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
