Artex removal in Itchen Abbas
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. We often deal with stipple finishes, textured walls and swirl patterns, and people typically contact us about structural work through coated ceilings and ceilings before skimming.
Rural homes near Itchen Abbas have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Questions from Itchen Abbas
Do you cover Itchen Abbas from London?
Itchen Abbas is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Itchen Abbas?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

Yes. We cover Itchen Abbas and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.

We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.

Things not to do

Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
