How artex removal works in Binscombe
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in Binscombe. Typical materials include textured walls, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are rented homes refurbished between tenants and damaged or cracked coatings.
Village homes like those in Binscombe have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

After the job
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
A few practical points:
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Keep pets out of the work area
- File the test result and waste note
Don’ts
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Test before the builders arrive.
Choosing the right option
Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What you get
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Binscombe questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How far is Binscombe from London?
Binscombe is about 30 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
