About our artex removal in Hascombe
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical materials include coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and textured walls, and people normally contact us about ceilings before skimming and extensions that cut into ceilings.
Village homes like those in Hascombe have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Hascombe: your questions answered
Do textured ceilings in Hascombe homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Could my house in Hascombe contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hascombe may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
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.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.

Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

What else we do in Hascombe
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
How we work
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, never sanded or scraped dry. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the removal and send a quote
- The coating is removed with controls
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Dig out previous surveys
How to get a quote

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
