Helpful guides
About our artex removal in Hambledon
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Hambledon. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are ceilings before downlights go in and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
In a village like Hambledon, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Materials, one by one
Ceiling roses and cornices
Roses and cornices may be coated.
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- What the material is and its state
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How easy it is to reach
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
Photo tips:
- An overall view
- Where we could park
- Cracks or breaks
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Every job is quoted in writing. Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hambledon, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Looking after things afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Photos help us quote
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Test every different coating
- File the test result and waste note
What to avoid
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.

Your questions about Artex removal in Hambledon
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do textured ceilings in Hambledon homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How much does Artex removal cost in Hambledon?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
What’s included, and what is not
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- We need the room cleared
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
