Artex removal in Warblington
If your renovation in Warblington involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Whether it’s coatings in the way of electrical work and coatings already disturbed, we cover coated plasterboard, textured walls and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in Warblington have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Warblington, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Typical Artex jobs in Warblington
Most problems come during renovation: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
Typical jobs in Warblington include:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Walls before tiling
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
A school like Bosmere Junior School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

Your questions about Artex removal in Warblington
Do you cover Warblington from London?
Warblington is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Warblington have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
