Artex removal in Tadley
Tadley questions
Do older homes in Tadley have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Tadley can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Tadley homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
How much does Artex removal cost in Tadley?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do you work in Tadley?
Yes, we do: our area includes Tadley and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
About our artex removal in Tadley
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical jobs include ceilings before downlights go in and ceilings before plastering, including textured walls, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
In towns like Tadley, plenty of homes from the 1960s to 1990s have textured ceilings. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

What affects the price in Tadley
What changes the cost:
- Material and condition
- How easy it is to reach
- How many samples are needed
- The quantity or area
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- Labels, if any
- A rough size or measurement
- Where we could park
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Looking after things afterwards
The surface is left ready for making good.
After we’ve finished:
- Each different coating needs testing
- File the test result and waste note
- Keep pets away
- Empty the rooms in advance
Don’ts
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Where asbestos turns up
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
These are some of the things we deal with in Tadley:
- Walls before tiling
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
If you are refurbishing a rental near Midgham station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Whether VAT is included
- Waste disposal and the consignment note

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
