Artex removal for Titchfield properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. From coatings already disturbed and landlord refurbishments, we deal with textured walls, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings.
In towns and villages like Titchfield, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
FAQs for Titchfield
Do textured ceilings in Titchfield homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you come out to small villages like Titchfield?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
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.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

Typical Artex jobs in Titchfield
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Walls before tiling
