About our artex removal in Hartley Mauditt
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and textured walls, and typical jobs are coatings already disturbed and extensions that cut into ceilings.
Rural homes near Hartley Mauditt have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
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.

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hartley Mauditt, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What happens next
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep pets away
Things not to do
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Which option is right?
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

How much does Artex removal cost in Hartley Mauditt?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.

Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
