Artex removal in Butlocks Heath
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. People often contact us about ceilings before skimming and coatings in the way of electrical work, involving coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and textured walls.
In a village like Butlocks Heath, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Questions from Butlocks Heath
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do textured ceilings in Butlocks Heath homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
