Artex removal near Hatherden
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. People often contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and ceilings coming down, including coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses.
In towns and villages like Hatherden, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Common questions in Hatherden
Do you cover small places like Hatherden?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Hatherden from London?
We cover Hatherden, about 63 miles from central London.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise for each room.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
