Artex removal near Nursling
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. From extensions that cut into ceilings and flaking textured ceilings, we deal with coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and swirl patterns and more.
In Nursling, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Common questions in Nursling
Do you cover Nursling and the area around Redbridge station?
Yes, we cover Nursling and the area towards Redbridge station, about 1.6 miles south.
Is the Artex in my Nursling home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll explain the options.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
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.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
