Artex removal in Toothill
About our artex removal in Toothill
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, textured walls and Artex ceilings, and people typically contact us about ceilings before plastering and coatings scraped during DIY.
In a village like Toothill, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is normally better. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Why choose us
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Why people call us in Toothill
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
In older properties, we often see:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings scraped during DIY
A school like The Mountbatten School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

Common questions in Toothill
How far is Toothill from London?
Toothill is about 70 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Romsey station?
Yes, we cover Toothill and the area towards Romsey station, about 2.3 miles north-west.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
