Textured ceilings in Hursley
Hursley is about 3 miles north of Chandler's Ford, in Hampshire. Hursley is within our Hampshire area, for Artex jobs of every size. We work in 683 places across Hampshire. We work right across the region, from Hursley to Southampton (7 miles away).
Non-domestic buildings like John Keble Church of England Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start. For rented flats close to Shawford station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Artex removal in Hursley
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From landlord refurbishments and coatings damaged by leaks, we deal with coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
In areas like Hursley, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

A closer look at the materials
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Step by step
If we are taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible and bagged or wrapped. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Duty holders and landlords in Hursley
If your business premises in Hursley were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
The scope of Artex removal
A few things to be aware of:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
If your home is one of the older properties in Hursley, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What it costs
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The quantity or area
- Disposal costs
- The number of samples or the size of the building
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep pets away
- File the test result and waste note
Avoid these
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Common questions in Hursley
Do you cover Hursley from London?
We cover Hursley, about 65 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Hursley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
