Artex removal for Hatch Warren properties
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical materials include textured walls, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses, and people usually contact us about rented flats before redecoration and coatings damaged by leaks.
In Hatch Warren, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Which option is right?
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is generally better. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why choose us
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- No removal until we know what it is
- Written quotes that say what’s included

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Hatch Warren, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
