Your questions about Artex removal in Godshill
Do you come out to small villages like Godshill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work in Godshill?
Yes, we do: our area includes Godshill and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Looking after things afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
To avoid problems in future:
- Photos help us quote
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Book your plasterer after removal
Don’ts
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- The survey scope
- Disposal costs
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much there is
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Where asbestos turns up
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
These are some of the things we deal with in Godshill:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings before skimming
- Ceilings coming down
In older homes in Godshill, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

Duty holders and landlords in Godshill
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Godshill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Which option is right?
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is usually better. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
