What’s included, and what isn’t
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it does not:
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
Artex removal near Northney
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include structural work through coated ceilings and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, involving coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard.
In a village like Northney, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Your questions about Artex removal in Northney
How far is Northney from London?
Northney is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Warblington station?
Yes. Warblington station is about 1.7 miles north of Northney, and we cover both.
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.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
For businesses and landlords in Northney
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Northney, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
