About our artex removal in Hamsey Green
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard, and people typically contact us about structural work through coated ceilings and damaged or cracked coatings.
In areas like Hamsey Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Hamsey Green
Do you come out to small villages like Hamsey Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Hamsey Green from London?
We cover Hamsey Green, about 13 miles from central London.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in Hamsey Green?
We do: our area includes Hamsey Green and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Your options compared
A test before removal can save money: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
