Artex removal near Hangleton
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Hangleton. We often deal with stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are extensions that cut into ceilings and landlord refurbishments.
In a smaller place like Hangleton, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Should you do it yourself?
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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Hangleton
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Walls before tiling
Non-domestic buildings like Hangleton Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.

Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
