About our artex removal in Hempton
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. People often contact us about landlord refurbishments and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, including textured walls, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings.
Rural homes near Hempton have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Duty holders and landlords in Hempton
If your business premises in Hempton were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
Hempton: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Hempton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Hempton contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hempton can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you work in Hempton?
Yes, we do: Hempton is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
