Asbestos help in Ham
What it costs
What drives the price:
- The size of the job
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An overall view
- Where we could park
- Approximate dimensions
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Artex removal for Ham properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Whether it’s textured walls before a refit and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we deal with swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses and more.
Ceilings in Ham conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

How it works
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, never sanded or scraped dry. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We sample each coating
- We plan the removal and send a quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Getting ready

- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the way to the work area
Getting a price
Each job is priced individually. To start, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Don’ts

Your questions about Artex removal in Ham
Could my house in Ham contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ham can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Ham and the area around Teddington station?
Yes, we cover Ham and the area towards Teddington station, about 1.2 miles south-west.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Typical Artex jobs in Ham
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
These come up again and again:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings before plastering
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Coatings damaged by leaks
Non-domestic buildings like Meadlands Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.
What your quote should include
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- If the price includes VAT
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We need the room cleared
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
