Artex removal for Southington properties
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Southington. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and textured walls, and typical jobs are coatings scraped during DIY and rented flats before redecoration.
Village homes like those in Southington have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Southington questions
Is asbestos common in Southington homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Southington can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Southington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos dangerous?
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.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work in Southington?
Yes, we do: Southington is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Duty holders and landlords in Southington
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other materials may need their own approach
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with

Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.

What it costs
