Artex removal in Longmoor
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Typical jobs include coatings damaged by DIY and walls before tiling, including coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
Rural homes near Longmoor have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Material and condition
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets away
- Send photos of the coatings
- Plan around the closed rooms
- File the test result and waste note
What to avoid
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Longmoor questions
Do you cover Longmoor and the area around Liss station?
Yes. Liss station is about 2.3 miles south-west of Longmoor, and we cover both.
How far is Longmoor from London?
We cover Longmoor, about 45 miles from central London.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
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.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you cover Longmoor?
Yes, we do: Longmoor is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
