Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
How artex removal works in Fawley
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Fawley, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. People often contact us about coatings already disturbed and damaged or cracked coatings, including coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings.
In a village like Fawley, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which does not change what’s underneath.
FAQs for Fawley
Do you come out to small villages like Fawley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Fawley homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Fawley can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work in Fawley?
Yes, we do: Fawley is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.

Before you book, note that:

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Typical Artex jobs in Fawley

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Loft conversions
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming

A school like Fawley Infant School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
