How artex removal works in Hawkley
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. Whether it’s walls before tiling and coatings scraped during DIY, we deal with coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and swirl patterns and more.
In places like Hawkley, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.

Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
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.

Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
