Asbestos help in Stubbington
Artex removal near Stubbington
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and rented flats before redecoration, involving coated plasterboard, textured walls and Artex ceilings.
In Stubbington, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Questions from Stubbington
How far is Stubbington from London?
Stubbington is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do textured ceilings in Stubbington homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise for each room.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Stubbington
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings before skimming
If you are refurbishing flats near Fareham station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

Your options compared
