Artex removal in Luccombe Village
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Common materials are stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and textured walls, and people normally contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and damaged or cracked coatings.
In areas like Luccombe Village, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Luccombe Village questions
Do you work near Shanklin station?
Yes, we cover Luccombe Village and the area towards Shanklin station, about 1.2 miles north.
Do older homes in Luccombe Village have asbestos?
Any home in Luccombe Village built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will explain the options.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. A test will tell you.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We need the room cleared
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we see

Your options compared
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Luccombe Village, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
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.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much waste there is
- Parking and access charges
- The quantity or area
- How many samples are needed
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- The access route
- Labels, if any
- A rough size or measurement
- A photo of the whole area
Every job is quoted in writing. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
