Asbestos help in Denmead
Artex removal for Denmead properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Denmead, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. People often contact us about coatings damaged by leaks and rented flats before redecoration, involving Artex ceilings, textured walls and stipple finishes.
In Denmead, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

How it works
At the end, the room is cleaned and checked before the seals come down. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit

Where asbestos turns up
Many trades want a test result first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Landlord refurbishments
If you are refurbishing a rental near Cosham station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

FAQs for Denmead
Do textured ceilings in Denmead homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Denmead from London?
Denmead is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
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.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you work in Denmead?
We do: our area includes Denmead and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
