Artex removal in Battramsley
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Battramsley
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
If you’re refurbishing flats near Sway station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Any exclusions
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- How fibres will be kept down

Questions from Battramsley
Is asbestos common in Battramsley homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Battramsley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in Battramsley?
Yes. We cover Battramsley and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

Board removal avoids stripping.
Which option is right?
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The quantity or area
- The category of work
- How easy it is to reach
- The type of material and its condition
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A rough size or measurement
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
