Artex removal for Blackfield properties
Planning a renovation in Blackfield with textured ceilings? Test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Typical jobs include ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and coatings scraped during DIY, including coated plasterboard, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
Homes in areas like Blackfield may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so test each different coating. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

The process
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and the room stays closed. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Getting ready
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Your questions about Artex removal in Blackfield
Is the Artex in my Blackfield home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Blackfield?
We do: Blackfield is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
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.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How much does Artex removal cost in Blackfield?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Which option is right?
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is usually better. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Accredited laboratory results
- Houses, flats and business premises

For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Blackfield, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
After we have finished in Blackfield
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Plan around the closed rooms
Don’ts
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
What we deal with in Blackfield
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.
In older properties, we often see:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings coming down
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings before plastering
If your home is one of the older properties in Blackfield, near St Francis or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
What your quote should include
- The documents you will receive
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- We need the room cleared
