Artex removal in Fawler
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Artex removal for Fawler properties
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Whether it’s ceilings coming down and damaged or cracked coatings, we cover stipple finishes, swirl patterns and textured walls and more.
Village homes like those in Fawler have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

FAQs for Fawler
Do you work near Finstock station?
Yes, we cover Fawler, including the streets around Finstock station.
Do older homes in Fawler have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Fawler can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will explain the options.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you cover Fawler?
Yes, Fawler is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. 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: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
