About our artex removal in Redenham
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. We often deal with textured walls, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings, and people normally contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and rented flats before redecoration.
Village homes like those in Redenham have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Artex removal around Redenham
Redenham is about 4 miles north-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Redenham has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Redenham is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we work. We work right across the region, from Redenham to Southampton (about 24 miles away).
Non-domestic buildings like Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings. If your home is one of the older properties in Redenham, near Church of St Peter in the Wood or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

What it might be made of
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Redenham must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What affects the price in Redenham
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Access to the area
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The type of material and its condition
- The category of work
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

After the job
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
Some practical advice:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Each different coating needs testing
- Empty the rooms in advance
- File the test result and waste note
Don’ts
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Redenham
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
For rented flats close to Andover station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Which option is right?
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Common questions in Redenham
Do you cover Redenham and the area around Andover station?
Yes. Andover station is about 4 miles south-east of Redenham, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Redenham homes?
Any home in Redenham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
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.
Is my textured ceiling in Redenham asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
