Artex removal for West Liss
About our artex removal in West Liss
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Whether it’s walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and landlord refurbishments, we cover swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and textured walls and more.
In a village like West Liss, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common questions in West Liss
Do older homes in West Liss have asbestos?
If your home in West Liss was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Do you work in West Liss?
Yes. We cover West Liss and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
What we do and don’t cover
So you know what to expect:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We need the room cleared
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
