Artex removal near Hurstbourne Tarrant
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. From loft conversions and extensions and damaged or cracked coatings, we cover Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Hurstbourne Tarrant have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Choosing the right option

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A closer look at the materials
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Don’ts

Questions from Hurstbourne Tarrant
Do textured ceilings in Hurstbourne Tarrant homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work near Andover station?
Yes. Andover station is about 4.9 miles south of Hurstbourne Tarrant, and we cover both.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
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.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
