Artex removal in Leigh Park
Artex removal near Leigh Park
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. From coatings damaged by DIY and loft conversions and extensions, we deal with swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
In a smaller place like Leigh Park, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Leigh Park questions
How far is Leigh Park from London?
Leigh Park is about 58 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Havant station?
Yes. Havant station is about 1 mile south of Leigh Park, and we cover both.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Leigh Park were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors 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.
After we have finished in Leigh Park
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Once we’re done:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- File the test result and waste note
- Give us room sizes
- Photos help us quote
Things not to do
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
Options to consider in Leigh Park
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 normally better. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
