How artex removal works in Haine
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Whether it’s extensions that cut into ceilings and flaking textured ceilings, we deal with coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in Haine have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Which option is right?
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

How we price Artex removal
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Waste quantity and disposal
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- A picture of the whole area
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- An idea of size
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Questions from Haine
Do older homes in Haine have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Haine may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Haine home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Is my textured ceiling in Haine asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
