How artex removal works in Cole Henley
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. People often contact us about coatings damaged by leaks and landlord refurbishments, including swirl patterns, stipple finishes and textured walls.
In a village like Cole Henley, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Choosing the right option
Testing first can save a lot: a clear result means normal methods. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Your questions about Artex removal in Cole Henley
Is asbestos common in Cole Henley homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Cole Henley and the area around Whitchurch (Hampshire) station?
Yes. Whitchurch (Hampshire) station is about 1.4 miles south of Cole Henley, and we cover both.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will explain the options.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Looking after things afterwards
The surface is left ready for making good.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Photos help us quote
- File the test result and waste note
- Each different coating needs testing
Avoid these
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
What happens
We bag and label the waste as we work, for disposal at a permitted site. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day

Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we deal with in Cole Henley
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
These come up again and again:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Coatings damaged by leaks
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
