Artex removal for Hordle properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical jobs include ceilings before downlights go in and ceilings before skimming, including textured walls, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns.
In areas like Hordle, textured ceilings are a common renovation find. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
Questions from Hordle
Do you cover Hordle and the area around New Milton station?
Yes. New Milton station is about 1.7 miles west of Hordle, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in Hordle homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work in Hordle?
Yes, Hordle is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Typical Artex jobs in Hordle
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
These come up again and again:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Textured walls before a refit
- Loft conversions
A school like Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
