Artex removal for Hilden Park properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Hilden Park, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. People often contact us about ceilings coming down and coatings in the way of electrical work, including coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and textured walls.
Rural homes near Hilden Park have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
Where asbestos turns up
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Loft conversions
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
Older homes across Hilden Park may have coatings added during past renovations.
Questions to ask before you book
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The method and controls
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Material and condition
- How easy it is to reach
- The survey scope
- The category of work
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Labels, if any
- A close-up from a safe distance
