Asbestos help in Hanger Hill
How artex removal works in Hanger Hill
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, textured walls and stipple finishes, and people typically contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and ceilings due for plastering or skimming.
Ceilings in Hanger Hill conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Damaged or cracked coatings
In older homes in Hanger Hill, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Questions to ask before you book
- Suitable insurance for the work

The scope of Artex removal
Worth knowing before booking:

- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We need the room cleared

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

FAQs for Hanger Hill
Do textured ceilings in Hanger Hill homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Could my house in Hanger Hill contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
