Asbestos help in Linwood
How artex removal works in Linwood
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Typical jobs include coatings scraped during DIY and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, involving swirl patterns, textured walls and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in Linwood 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.

What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Disposal costs

A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Your questions about Artex removal in Linwood
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover small places like Linwood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
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.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Usually not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.

A closer look at the materials
Patched areas

What happens next
File the result and the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Give us room sizes
