Artex removal in Lymore
About our artex removal in Lymore
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. Whether it’s coatings already disturbed and ceilings before plastering, we deal with coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns and more.
Rural homes near Lymore have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your trades.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets away
- Each different coating needs testing
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Avoid these
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Test before the builders arrive.

We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly before the seals come down. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the removal and send a quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Dig out previous surveys
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Disposal costs
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How easy it is to reach
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

FAQs for Lymore
Do you come out to small villages like Lymore?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
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.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
