Artex removal for North Stoneham
How artex removal works in North Stoneham
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Common materials are swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are loft conversions and ceilings before skimming.
In a village like North Stoneham, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in North Stoneham
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Coatings damaged by leaks
If your home is one of the older properties in North Stoneham, near St. Nicolas' Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Common questions in North Stoneham
Do you cover small places like North Stoneham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Southampton Airport Parkway station?
Yes, we cover North Stoneham and the area towards Southampton Airport Parkway station, about 0.8 miles south-east.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is normally best. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
