Asbestos help in Warsash
Artex removal near Warsash
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are extensions that cut into ceilings and coatings in the way of electrical work.
In a smaller place like Warsash, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes, and testing comes first. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What else we do in Warsash
Your questions about Artex removal in Warsash
Is the Artex in my Warsash home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do older homes in Warsash have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Is my textured ceiling in Warsash asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.

Looking after things afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
A few practical points:
- File the test result and waste note
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep pets away
- Plan around the closed rooms
Don’ts
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials we deal with
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
