Artex removal for Hammill Park properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are coatings in the way of electrical work and coatings already disturbed.
Village homes like those in Hammill Park have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings already disturbed
Older homes across Hammill Park may have coatings added during past renovations.
What your quote should include
- What is not included
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Whether the job needs notifying
Which option is right?
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why people choose us
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Covering London and the South East

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hammill Park, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What else we do in Hammill Park
Hammill Park questions
Do you cover Hammill Park from London?
We cover Hammill Park, about 62 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Hammill Park home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
After the job
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
To avoid problems in future:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep pets out of the work area
Don’ts
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
