How artex removal works in PO9
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. We often deal with Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard, and people typically contact us about textured walls before a refit and coatings in the way of electrical work.
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We sample each coating
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- The coating is removed with controls
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork

Where we remove Artex in PO9
Textured ceilings turn up in homes across PO9, from Havant, Leigh Park and Denvilles to 4 villages and hamlets. We test first, wherever the property is. 6 of the places we cover in PO9 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.
Havant: A school like Trosnant Infant School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start. If you are refurbishing a rental near Havant station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- We need the room cleared
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date

Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The quantity or area
- The survey scope
- Material and condition

Options to consider in PO9
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place.

PO9 questions
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you cover PO9?
Yes, PO9 is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
