Helpful guides
About our artex removal in Norton
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are rented flats before redecoration and coatings scraped during DIY.
In a village like Norton, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Why people call us in Norton
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed

If your home is one of the older properties in Norton, near St. James' Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Options to consider in Norton
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is usually best. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why us?

The scope of Artex removal
So you know what to expect:
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- 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 before booking.
Common materials
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Norton questions
Do you cover Norton and the area around Lymington Pier station?
Yes. Lymington Pier station is about 3.9 miles north of Norton, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Norton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
