Artex removal across PO8
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in PO8. We often deal with textured walls, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are structural work through coated ceilings and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, with no sanding or dry scraping.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We arrange testing
- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove
- We carry out the removal
- We dispose of the waste legally

Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why people choose us
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Across London and the South East
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

PO8: textured coatings in homes
In PO8, renovation is when textured ceilings get noticed, in towns and villages alike.
Horndean: If you’re refurbishing flats near Rowlands Castle station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies. Older homes across Horndean may have coatings added during past renovations.
Afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Each different coating needs testing
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in PO8
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Landlord refurbishments
What it costs
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- How much waste there is
- Parking and access charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
- What the material is and its state
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Approximate dimensions
- Street parking nearby
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Visible markings

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in PO8, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Questions from PO8
How much does Artex removal cost in PO8?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
