Artex removal for Lyndhurst properties
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, across Lyndhurst. Common materials are coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are coatings already disturbed and textured walls before a refit.
In Lyndhurst, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about Artex removal in Lyndhurst
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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 work near Ashurst New Forest station?
Yes. Ashurst New Forest station is about 2.4 miles north-east of Lyndhurst, and we cover both.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How much does Artex removal cost in Lyndhurst?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Lyndhurst, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
These are some of the things we deal with in Lyndhurst:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
For rented flats close to Ashurst New Forest station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
