Artex removal for Hatchford End properties
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From textured walls before a refit and landlord refurbishments, we cover textured walls, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard.
In a village like Hatchford End, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Your questions about Artex removal in Hatchford End
Do you cover Hatchford End and the area around Effingham Junction station?
Yes. Effingham Junction station is about 1.7 miles south-east of Hatchford End, and we cover both.
Is the Artex in my Hatchford End home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How much does Artex removal cost in Hatchford End?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Which option is right?
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is normally better. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Why people call us in Hatchford End
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Flaking textured ceilings
If you’re refurbishing a rental near Effingham Junction station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
