Artex removal near Netley Marsh
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Whether it’s textured walls before a refit and coatings damaged by DIY, we deal with stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and textured walls and more.
Rural homes near Netley Marsh have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Where asbestos turns up
Many trades want a test result first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Damaged or cracked coatings
Non-domestic buildings like Netley Marsh Church of England Infant School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

Common questions in Netley Marsh
Is the Artex in my Netley Marsh home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
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.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How much does Artex removal cost in Netley Marsh?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Duty holders and landlords in Netley Marsh
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Weighing up your options
A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask about the method and the waste. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
