Artex removal near Linchmere
If your renovation in Linchmere involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Whether it’s coatings already disturbed and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we deal with textured walls, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Linchmere have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Typical Artex jobs in Linchmere
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
In older properties, we often see:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
Non-domestic buildings like Woolmer Hill School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
What your quote should include
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Which laboratory analyses samples

Duty holders and landlords in Linchmere
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Linchmere, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
What affects the price in Linchmere
Quotes vary because of:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How many samples are needed

The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance

Common questions in Linchmere
Do you cover small places like Linchmere?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Linchmere and the area around Liphook station?
Yes. Liphook station is about 1.4 miles west of Linchmere, and we cover both.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What happens next
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Give us room sizes
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep pets away
Things not to do
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
