Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Questions from Newton Valence
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is the Artex in my Newton Valence home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
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. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will explain the options.
Which option is right?
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Why people call us in Newton Valence
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
These are some of the things we deal with in Newton Valence:
- Loft conversions
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
If you are refurbishing a rental near Alton station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
