In areas like Mottisfont, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

How it works
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, never sanded or scraped dry. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
