Artex removal for Micheldever Station properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Micheldever Station, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. From textured walls before a refit and landlord refurbishments, we deal with textured walls, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns and more.
In a village like Micheldever Station, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common questions in Micheldever Station
Do you come out to small villages like Micheldever Station?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Micheldever Station contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Micheldever Station can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.

Typical Artex jobs in Micheldever Station

Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings before plastering
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Overton station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
