Artex removal near Wigley
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical materials include stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and textured walls, and people normally contact us about damaged or cracked coatings and structural work through coated ceilings.
In a village like Wigley, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Weighing up your options
A test before removal can save money: a clear result means normal methods. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Your questions about Artex removal in Wigley
Do you cover Wigley and the area around Totton station?
Yes, we cover Wigley and the area towards Totton station, about 3.4 miles south-east.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
