Artex removal in Calshot
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. Typical jobs include rented flats before redecoration and coatings damaged by leaks, involving Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
In towns and villages like Calshot, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Calshot
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
In older properties, we often see:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings coming down
If you are refurbishing flats near Hamble station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Common questions in Calshot
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.
Could my house in Calshot contain asbestos?
If your home in Calshot was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will explain the options.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Your options compared
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
