Asbestos help in St Cross
Artex removal near St Cross
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. People often contact us about ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and walls before tiling, involving swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and textured walls.
In places like St Cross, textured ceilings are a common renovation find. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

St Cross questions
Is the Artex in my St Cross home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover St Cross and the area around Winchester station?
Yes, we cover St Cross and the area towards Winchester station, about 1.3 miles north.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is my textured ceiling in St Cross asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.

Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
