About our artex removal in Phoenix Green

Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Phoenix Green, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical jobs include ceilings before skimming and damaged or cracked coatings, including Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses.

Rural homes near Phoenix Green have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Options to consider in Phoenix Green

Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is usually best. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Where asbestos turns up

Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:

  • Structural work through coated ceilings
  • Walls before tiling
  • Loft conversions
  • Ceilings before downlights go in

If you are refurbishing a rental near Winchfield station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Questions to ask before you book

  • The method and controls
  • Where the waste goes, with paperwork
  • Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
  • Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed

A closer look at the materials

Artex ceilings

A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.

Textured walls

Walls are treated like ceilings.

Looking after things afterwards

The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.

After the job, keep these in mind:

  • Keep pets out of the work area
  • Clear the rooms before the work
  • Book your plasterer after removal
  • Photos help us quote

Avoid these

Test before the builders arrive.

Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

For businesses and landlords in Phoenix Green

Common questions in Phoenix Green

Do textured ceilings in Phoenix Green homes contain asbestos?

Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.

Do you cover Phoenix Green and the area around Winchfield station?

Yes. Winchfield station is about 0.7 miles south of Phoenix Green, and we cover both.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

How dangerous is asbestos?

Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.

Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?

You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

What paperwork will I get?

A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Do you cover Phoenix Green?

Yes. We cover Phoenix Green and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
