Artex removal in Bursledon
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. People often contact us about coatings damaged by leaks and coatings already disturbed, involving coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and textured walls.
Homes in towns and villages like Bursledon may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so each type needs testing. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
After we have finished in Bursledon
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Keeping things safe:
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off

Your questions about Artex removal in Bursledon
Do textured ceilings in Bursledon homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Could my house in Bursledon contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Bursledon

What it might be made of

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
