How artex removal works in Damerham
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. From landlord refurbishments and coatings in the way of electrical work, we deal with Artex ceilings, textured walls and swirl patterns.
In a village like Damerham, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Prices and what affects them
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access to the area
- The survey scope
- What the material is and its state
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

What we do and don’t cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
Choosing the right option
A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.

Nearby places to Damerham
Your questions about Artex removal in Damerham
Do you cover small places like Damerham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Damerham homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
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.

Helpful guides
Duty holders and landlords in Damerham
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you manage or own a block in Damerham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Where asbestos turns up
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
In older properties, we often see:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings damaged by leaks
In older homes in Damerham, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
