Artex removal for South Warnborough properties
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. From coatings damaged by leaks and coatings already disturbed, we deal with swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard.
Rural homes near South Warnborough have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

South Warnborough questions
Do you come out to small villages like South Warnborough?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Hook station?
Yes, we cover South Warnborough and the area towards Hook station, about 3.9 miles north.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

What we deal with in South Warnborough

Common situations in older properties include:
