How artex removal works in Wootton
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Wootton. Typical jobs include extensions that cut into ceilings and structural work through coated ceilings, including stipple finishes, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Wootton have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Wootton
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Loft conversions and extensions
If you’re refurbishing flats near New Milton station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Wootton questions
Do textured ceilings in Wootton homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do older homes in Wootton have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you cover Wootton?
Yes, we do: Wootton is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
How we price Artex removal
Quotes vary because of:
- How easy it is to reach
- Disposal costs
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A rough size or measurement
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

The scope of Artex removal
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it does not:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
Materials, one by one

After the job
File the result and the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Empty the rooms in advance

Avoid these
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.

- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
