Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Why people call us in Durrington
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Textured walls before a refit
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Damaged or cracked coatings
If your home is one of the older properties in Durrington, near St Symphorian's Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Your questions about Artex removal in Durrington
Do textured ceilings in Durrington homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
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 I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How much does Artex removal cost in Durrington?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Material and condition
- Travel and parking
- The survey scope
- How easy it is to reach
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Visible markings
- Street parking nearby
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
What happens next
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Send photos of the coatings
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Plan around the closed rooms
Avoid these
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
