How artex removal works in Littleton
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across Littleton. Whether it’s coatings damaged by leaks and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, we cover Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and textured walls and more.
Rural homes near Littleton have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

A few things to be aware of:

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Don’ts
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Littleton questions
Do you work near Winchester station?
Yes. Winchester station is about 1.9 miles south-east of Littleton, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in Littleton homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Do you work in Littleton?
Yes. We cover Littleton and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
