Artex removal for Kimbridge properties
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. Common materials are Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and textured walls, and typical jobs are flaking textured ceilings and textured walls before a refit.
In towns and villages like Kimbridge, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What we deal with in Kimbridge
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings before plastering
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
A school like Awbridge Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.
Before you book anyone

Options to consider in Kimbridge
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why choose us
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Work done to the regulations
- Reports and results you can share
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

Kimbridge: your questions answered
Is the Artex in my Kimbridge home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station?
Yes. Mottisfont & Dunbridge station is about 0.8 miles north-west of Kimbridge, and we cover both.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll recommend one for each room.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749, and we will recommend the right option.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:
- We need the room cleared
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
