Artex removal in South Hayling
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in South Hayling, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Typical materials include textured walls, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are ceilings before skimming and textured walls before a refit.
In South Hayling, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in South Hayling
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Landlord refurbishments
- Damaged or cracked coatings
In older homes in South Hayling, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

Questions from South Hayling
Do older homes in South Hayling have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in South Hayling can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover South Hayling from London?
South Hayling is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you work in South Hayling?
Yes. We cover South Hayling and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
