Artex removal near Hannington
How artex removal works in Hannington
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. From ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and walls before tiling, we cover stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in Hannington have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Preparing for the visit
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

What else we do in Hannington
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Afterwards
File the result and the paperwork.
After we’ve finished:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Empty the rooms in advance
Don’ts
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Hannington questions
Do you cover Hannington from London?
We cover Hannington, about 51 miles from central London.
Do you cover Hannington and the area around Overton station?
Yes. Overton station is about 3.4 miles south-west of Hannington, and we cover both.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is my textured ceiling in Hannington asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Why people call us in Hannington
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Typical jobs in Hannington include:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings before skimming

- Textured walls before a refit
For rented flats close to Overton station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.
What to look for in a quote
- How fibres will be kept down

What it costs
When we quote, we look at:

- How much there is
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Labels, if any
- The parking area
- A wide shot showing where the material is
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
