Artex removal near Wherwell Wood
How artex removal works in Wherwell Wood
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Wherwell Wood. We often deal with swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and textured walls, and typical jobs are extensions that cut into ceilings and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed.
Village homes like those in Wherwell Wood have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Wherwell Wood: your questions answered
Do you cover Wherwell Wood from London?
Wherwell Wood is about 63 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is the Artex in my Wherwell Wood home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
After we have finished in Wherwell Wood
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
To avoid problems in future:
- Give us room sizes
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Photos help us quote
- Plan around the closed rooms
Avoid these
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

What we deal with in Wherwell Wood
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
In older homes in Wherwell Wood, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Any exclusions
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Which option is right?
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
