Artex removal in Walhampton
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
How artex removal works in Walhampton
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical materials include textured walls, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard, and people normally contact us about ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and coatings damaged by leaks.
Village homes like those in Walhampton have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

What happens next
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Send photos of the coatings
- Test every different coating
- Keep pets out of the work area
What to avoid
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Materials we deal with
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which does not change what’s underneath.
Which option is right?
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Your questions about Artex removal in Walhampton
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Walhampton contain asbestos?
If your home in Walhampton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Typical Artex jobs in Walhampton
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Coatings scraped during DIY
A school like Lymington Church of England Infant School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.
