Artex removal in Pamber Heath
About our artex removal in Pamber Heath
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical materials include swirl patterns, textured walls and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and ceilings before skimming.
In areas like Pamber Heath, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Choosing the right option
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Houses, flats and business premises

For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Pamber Heath must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Your questions about Artex removal in Pamber Heath
Do you cover Pamber Heath and the area around Bramley (Hants) station?
Yes, we cover Pamber Heath and the area towards Bramley (Hants) station, about 3.1 miles south-east.
Is asbestos common in Pamber Heath homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Pamber Heath can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
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.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Step by step
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
