Artex removal near Bashley
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Common materials are swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes, and people typically contact us about coatings scraped during DIY and flaking textured ceilings.
Village homes like those in Bashley have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We only recommend work that is needed.

Looking after things afterwards

Things not to do
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
FAQs for Bashley
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is the Artex in my Bashley home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is my textured ceiling in Bashley asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Bashley, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
