Artex removal near Baughurst
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. From coatings scraped during DIY and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we cover swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and textured walls.
In areas like Baughurst, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Choosing the right option

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
After the job
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
After we have finished:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.

Baughurst questions
Do you work near Midgham station?
Yes. Midgham station is about 3.1 miles north of Baughurst, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Baughurst?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
