About our artex removal in Nob's Crook
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in Nob's Crook. Typical materials include textured walls, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are rented homes refurbished between tenants and ceilings due for plastering or skimming.
Rural homes near Nob's Crook have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Nob's Crook: your questions answered
Do you cover Nob's Crook and the area around Eastleigh station?
Yes, we cover Nob's Crook and the area towards Eastleigh station, about 2.2 miles south-west.
Is the Artex in my Nob's Crook home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Typically not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Your options compared
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
How we work in Nob's Crook
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Clear advice on your options
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Across London and the South East
Take a look at our prices page or our cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What we deal with in Nob's Crook
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings before plastering
- Landlord refurbishments
- Loft conversions
If your home is one of the older properties in Nob's Crook, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Before booking anyone
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Whether the job needs notifying
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If your business premises in Nob's Crook were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
