Artex removal in Hillway
How artex removal works in Hillway
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical materials include swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are coatings in the way of electrical work and textured walls before a refit.
Village homes like those in Hillway have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What it might be made of
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything

Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If your business premises in Hillway were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
Non-domestic buildings like Bembridge Church of England Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
What your quote should include
- The method and controls
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- The scope of the job, in writing
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- The survey scope
- Disposal costs
- The quantity or area
- Access to the area
The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A photo of the whole area
- An idea of size
- A clear close-up
