Helpful guides
Artex removal for Hampton Poyle properties
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Common materials are Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and textured walls, and people normally contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and damaged or cracked coatings.
Rural homes near Hampton Poyle have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Where asbestos turns up
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
These are some of the things we deal with in Hampton Poyle:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Walls before tiling
- Flaking textured ceilings
In older homes in Hampton Poyle, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
What to look for in a quote
- How fibres will be kept down
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
After the job
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
After we’ve finished:
- Test every different coating
- Keep pets away
- Send photos of the coatings
- Plan around the closed rooms
What to avoid
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Test before the builders arrive.

Hampton Poyle questions
Do you cover Hampton Poyle and the area around Islip station?
Yes. Islip station is about 1.5 miles south-east of Hampton Poyle, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Hampton Poyle?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- What the material is and its state
- The survey scope
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Sending photos
For a quick quote, include:
- Damaged areas
- An overall view
- A clear close-up
- Where we could park
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
