Homes built or refurbished before 2000 often have asbestos in ceiling coatings, tiles or insulating board. Artex and asbestos ceiling tiles went into millions of UK properties before the 1999 ban.
The same UKATA-trained team handles every ceiling removal we carry out, whether it’s a house in Southampton or a commercial property in the city.
Removing Artex, ceiling tiles and AIB safely
Offices, schools and industrial premises too
Every ceiling job runs through the same three stages, beginning with a free survey and finishing once your consignment note confirms the waste is gone.
We visit your property at no cost and take a controlled sample for analysis at a UKAS-accredited lab, and you’ll have written results before any removal work gets agreed.
Within 48 hours of the survey, you’ll have a fixed quote in writing, and that figure stays exactly as confirmed.
Controlled moisture suppresses fibre release throughout removal. Dry scraping or sanding is never used.
Waste is bagged and transported to a licensed facility. A consignment note confirms legal disposal.
Public and employer liability insurance at £10 million backs every ceiling job we take on, without exception, ever.
Every operative is UKATA-trained and works directly for us, with no agency staff and no subcontracting involved.
Your written quote arrives within 48 hours of the survey and stays exactly as confirmed right through to completion.
Waste goes to an HSE-approved facility on every job, backed by a consignment note as proof once it's done
FAQS
You can’t tell just by looking at a ceiling coating or tile. Professional sampling and asbestos testing southampton wide, carried out at a UKAS-accredited lab, are the only way to know for certain, and we build this into our free initial survey.
Yes. Any asbestos ceiling removal has to be carried out by a trained operative under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the material turns out to be. UKATA training is the recognised standard for this work across the UK.
If the material’s intact and left alone, the immediate risk is fairly low. That said, any planned renovation, drilling or accidental damage needs a professional assessment before you carry on. Leaving known asbestos in a ceiling without any kind of management plan does carry legal risk for the property owner.
Yes, at least from the affected area. Occupants need to stay out of that part of the property while removal is underway. Our operatives set up containment before stripping starts to stop fibres spreading, and we’ll confirm once it’s safe to go back in.
It depends on the ceiling area, how many rooms are involved, and what the lab confirms the material actually is. We give you a free survey followed by a fixed written quote within 48 hours, and that figure covers labour, licensed disposal and your consignment note, with nothing hidden.
Most standard residential jobs are finished within a single working day. Bigger or multi-room projects can take longer, and we’ll confirm the expected timescale in your fixed written quote before any work starts.
Artex and other textured coatings containing chrysotile, asbestos ceiling tiles, and asbestos insulating board removal (AIB) are all within our scope, along with sprayed asbestos coatings. Each material needs its own removal approach, which we confirm at the survey.
Yes. Every quote we give already includes the full cost of licensed disposal at an HSE-approved facility. You’ll get a consignment note on completion, confirming the waste was disposed of correctly under the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005.
Just get in touch with your postcode and a brief description of the ceiling material involved. We’ll arrange a free survey within the week and follow up with a fixed written quote within 48 hours of the visit. There’s no call-out fee and no obligation to go ahead.
