Artex removal in Canada
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
These come up again and again:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Ceilings before skimming
If you are refurbishing a rental near Romsey station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Artex removal for Canada properties
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Typical materials include coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are ceilings coming down and ceilings before skimming.
In areas like Canada, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For businesses and landlords in Canada
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Canada, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Canada: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Canada homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Canada can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Usually you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
After we have finished in Canada
File the result and the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Each different coating needs testing
- File the test result and waste note
- Photos help us quote
- Clear the rooms before the work
Avoid these
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
