Artex removal for Hardwick
About our artex removal in Hardwick
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Hardwick. People often contact us about walls before tiling and coatings damaged by leaks, involving coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in Hardwick have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Questions from Hardwick
Do you cover Hardwick from London?
Hardwick is about 40 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do textured ceilings in Hardwick homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
How much does Artex removal cost in Hardwick?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
The scope of Artex removal
So you know what to expect:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Hardwick
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Loft conversions and extensions
If your home is one of the older properties in Hardwick, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
What your quote should include
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
