Artex removal in Hamble-le-Rice
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include coatings already disturbed and rented flats before redecoration, including swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
In a smaller place like Hamble-le-Rice, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes, and testing comes first. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hamble-le-Rice, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you manage or own a block in Hamble-le-Rice, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What happens next
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
A few practical points:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Test every different coating
- Keep pets out of the work area
- File the test result and waste note
Don’ts
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.

Hamble-le-Rice questions
Could my house in Hamble-le-Rice contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Hamble station?
Yes, we cover Hamble-le-Rice and the area towards Hamble station, about 0.8 miles north.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
