Artex removal near Milland
Artex removal near Milland
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical materials include stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are loft conversions and extensions and ceilings before plastering.
In towns and villages like Milland, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

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: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How we work
Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, for disposal at a permitted site. We will tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We arrange testing
- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove

Milland: your questions answered
Do you cover Milland and the area around Liphook station?
Yes, we cover Milland and the area towards Liphook station, about 2.4 miles north.
Do textured ceilings in Milland homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Roses and cornices may be coated.
Weighing up your options
A test before removal can save money: a clear result means normal methods. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
How we work in Milland
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Where asbestos turns up
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
If your home is one of the older properties in Milland, near Tuxlith Chapel or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Questions to ask before you book
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What paperwork you get
- Whether VAT is included
- Suitable insurance for the work

Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Milland, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you manage or own a block in Milland, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
After we have finished in Milland
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Each different coating needs testing
- File the test result and waste note
- Give us room sizes
Things not to do
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
