Artex removal near Hatchford
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Whether it’s ceilings coming down and loft conversions, we deal with swirl patterns, textured walls and coated plasterboard.
In places like Hatchford, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Helpful guides
Hatchford: your questions answered
Do you work near Effingham Junction station?
Yes, we cover Hatchford and the area towards Effingham Junction station, about 1.3 miles south-east.
Do textured ceilings in Hatchford homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
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.
A closer look at the materials
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
After the job
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Photos help us quote
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Things not to do
Test before the builders arrive.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
