Your questions about Artex removal in Barton on Sea
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Barton on Sea and the area around New Milton station?
Yes, we cover Barton on Sea and the area towards New Milton station, about 1 mile north.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
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 usually needed.
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 will advise.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Step by step
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and keep the room closed while we work. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We sample each coating
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- The coating is removed with controls
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Let us know where we can park
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Landlord refurbishments
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Coatings already disturbed
If you’re refurbishing flats near New Milton station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Doing it yourself?

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
