Artex removal in Southrope
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. People often contact us about damaged or cracked coatings and walls before tiling, including swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Southrope have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Questions from Southrope
Is asbestos common in Southrope homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Alton station?
Yes, we cover Southrope and the area towards Alton station, about 4.5 miles south-east.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
