Artex removal in Stanswood
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. From ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and flaking textured ceilings, we cover textured walls, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses.
Rural homes near Stanswood have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in Stanswood
Do you cover Stanswood and the area around Hamble station?

Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
