Asbestos help in Curbridge
Artex removal near Curbridge
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. From coatings damaged by leaks and walls before tiling, we deal with swirl patterns, textured walls and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Curbridge have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

For managing agents and freeholders in Curbridge, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Should you do 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.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Common materials
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings

Questions from Curbridge
Could my house in Curbridge contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Curbridge can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is the Artex in my Curbridge home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
