About our artex removal in Ellingham
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Whether it’s ceilings due for plastering or skimming and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we cover Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and swirl patterns and more.
Village homes like those in Ellingham have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets away
- Photos help us quote
- Book your plasterer after removal

What to avoid
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.

What we deal with in Ellingham
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings coming down
- Rented flats before redecoration
Non-domestic buildings like Ringwood School Academy should already have records of any textured coatings.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What else we do in Ellingham
For businesses and landlords in Ellingham
If you manage or own a block in Ellingham, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
How we work
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We arrange testing
- We talk through the options
- We remove it safely if that is what you choose
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
How to prepare

- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Common questions in Ellingham
Do you cover small places like Ellingham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Ellingham contain asbestos?
If your home in Ellingham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
