Artex removal near Cadnam
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. We often deal with coated plasterboard, textured walls and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by DIY and textured walls before a refit.
Rural homes near Cadnam have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Questions from Cadnam
Do you work near Ashurst New Forest station?
Yes. Ashurst New Forest station is about 3.1 miles south-east of Cadnam, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Cadnam?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Cadnam
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Flaking textured ceilings
If you are refurbishing a rental near Ashurst New Forest station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Doing it yourself?
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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
