How artex removal works in Titchfield Common
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, textured walls and stipple finishes, and people normally contact us about textured walls before a refit and rented homes refurbished between tenants.
In areas like Titchfield Common, textured ceilings are a common renovation find. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common questions in Titchfield Common
Could my house in Titchfield Common contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Titchfield Common can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Titchfield Common from London?
Titchfield Common is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Do you work in Titchfield Common?
Yes. We cover Titchfield Common and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Typical Artex jobs in Titchfield Common
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings coming down
- Landlord refurbishments
- Coatings damaged by leaks
If your home is one of the older properties in Titchfield Common, near St John or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Questions to ask before booking
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- The scope of the job, in writing
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The survey scope
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Where we could park
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Approximate dimensions

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Choosing the right option
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
