Artex removal near Hampton Hill
Artex removal near Hampton Hill
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Typical jobs include ceilings before downlights go in and flaking textured ceilings, including coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings.
Ceilings in Hampton Hill conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Common questions in Hampton Hill
Do you cover Hampton Hill and the area around Fulwell station?
Yes. Fulwell station is about 0.6 miles north-east of Hampton Hill, and we cover both.
Do you work in Hampton Hill despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
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, then contact a professional.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
The process
For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We test a sample of each coating
- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove
- We carry out the removal
- We dispose of the waste legally
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Let us know if something’s broken

How we price Artex removal
When we quote, we look at:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Material and condition
- How much there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The parking area
- Labels, if any
Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will advise.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials we deal with
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
These are some of the things we deal with in Hampton Hill:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings before skimming
- Loft conversions and extensions
Non-domestic buildings like Hampton Hill Junior School should already have records of any textured coatings.
What your quote should include
- What isn’t included
- The documents you will receive
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
After we’ve finished in Hampton Hill
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
After we have finished:
- Photos help us quote
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep pets away
- Empty the rooms in advance
What to avoid
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Which option is right?
You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
