Artex removal for North Boarhunt properties
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are ceilings coming down and damaged or cracked coatings.
In a village like North Boarhunt, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

North Boarhunt: your questions answered
Do you work near Portchester station?
Yes, we cover North Boarhunt and the area towards Portchester station, about 3.3 miles south.
Do you cover North Boarhunt from London?
North Boarhunt is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in North Boarhunt, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
After the job
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Test every different coating
- Photos help us quote
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Book your plasterer after removal
Don’ts
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Typical Artex jobs in North Boarhunt
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
Typical jobs in North Boarhunt include:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
A school like Newtown Soberton Infant School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

DIY and asbestos

- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
