Artex removal in Tourner Bury
Artex removal for Tourner Bury properties
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. Typical jobs include loft conversions and extensions and textured walls before a refit, including stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses.
In places like Tourner Bury, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Questions from Tourner Bury
Do you work near Warblington station?
Yes, we cover Tourner Bury and the area towards Warblington station, about 4.1 miles north.
Is the Artex in my Tourner Bury home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

What else we do in Tourner Bury
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Tourner Bury, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
Options to consider in Tourner Bury
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What we deal with in Tourner Bury
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.

If your home is one of the older properties in Tourner Bury, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
