Artex removal in New Alresford
How artex removal works in New Alresford
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Whether it’s coatings scraped during DIY and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, we deal with textured walls, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard and more.
In New Alresford, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, which can make them crumble.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings coming down
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Landlord refurbishments
Non-domestic buildings like Sun Hill Junior School should already have records of any textured coatings.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What paperwork you get
What it might be made of
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off

Questions from New Alresford
How far is New Alresford from London?
New Alresford is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in New Alresford contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
