About our artex removal in Privett
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical jobs include extensions that cut into ceilings and rented flats before redecoration, including stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings.
Rural homes near Privett have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What we deal with in Privett
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Textured walls before a refit
- Landlord refurbishments
If you are refurbishing flats near Petersfield station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
Choosing the right option
You will find DIY products for removing Artex, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Test first. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Privett questions
Do textured ceilings in Privett homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Privett homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Privett may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
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 usually needed.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access to the area
- The survey scope
- Disposal costs
The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
