How artex removal works in Townhill Park
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. From walls before tiling and flaking textured ceilings, we cover stipple finishes, textured walls and Artex ceilings and more.
In Townhill Park, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Which option is right?
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Common questions in Townhill Park
Do you cover Townhill Park from London?
We cover Townhill Park, about 67 miles from central London.
Do you cover Townhill Park and the area around Swaythling station?
Yes. Swaythling station is about 1.1 miles north-west of Townhill Park, and we cover both.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll explain the options.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.

That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
