Artex removal in Church Hanborough
If your renovation in Church Hanborough involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. We often deal with Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are rented homes refurbished between tenants and ceilings before downlights go in.
In a village like Church Hanborough, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

FAQs for Church Hanborough
Is the Artex in my Church Hanborough home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Church Hanborough and the area around Hanborough station?
Yes, we cover Church Hanborough and the area towards Hanborough station, about 0.8 miles north-east.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Generally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Duty holders and landlords in Church Hanborough
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Church Hanborough, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.

The scope of Artex removal
A few things to be aware of:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- We need the room cleared
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Common materials
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, so they may start to flake.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings before plastering
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
In older homes in Church Hanborough, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
What to look for in a quote
