Artex removal near Tillington
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, across Tillington. From coatings damaged by DIY and flaking textured ceilings, we deal with coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and stipple finishes and more.
Rural homes near Tillington have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Tillington questions
Do textured ceilings in Tillington homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Tillington homes?
Any home in Tillington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
