Artex removal in PO34: what to expect
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. Typical materials include swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are ceilings before plastering and coatings damaged by DIY.
At the end, the room is cleaned and checked.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- We sample each different coating for testing
- We go through the options and send a quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork

Artex removal in PO34
From Appley, Nettlestone and Seaview to small villages, homes across PO34 have textured ceilings. Testing comes first, wherever you are. 5 of the places we cover in PO34 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.
Nettlestone: If your home is one of the older properties in Nettlestone, near St. Helen's Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation. Non-domestic buildings like Nettlestone Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
After we have finished in PO34
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
- Send photos of the coatings

Weighing up your options
You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if it contains asbestos, the job needs proper controls. Test first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The method and controls
- What isn’t included
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in PO34, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of 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 a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Why people call us in PO34
Many trades want a test result first.
These come up again and again:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Coatings damaged by leaks
PO34 questions
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do you cover PO34?
Yes, we do: our area includes PO34 and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
