Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include structural work through coated ceilings and coatings damaged by leaks, involving coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.
In areas like South Wonston, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We only recommend work that’s needed.

What we deal with in South Wonston
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Rented flats before redecoration
If your home is one of the older properties in South Wonston, near St Margaret's or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Your questions about Artex removal in South Wonston
Do you cover small places like South Wonston?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover South Wonston and the area around Winchester station?
Yes, we cover South Wonston and the area towards Winchester station, about 3.7 miles south.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Step by step
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, with no sanding or dry scraping. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum.
