About our artex removal in Hinchley Wood
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard, and people usually contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and rented flats before redecoration.
In a smaller place like Hinchley Wood, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes, and testing comes first. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

These come up again and again:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Common questions in Hinchley Wood
How far is Hinchley Wood from London?
We cover Hinchley Wood, about 13 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Hinchley Wood homes?
If your home in Hinchley Wood was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Is my textured ceiling in Hinchley Wood asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
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.
Weighing up your options
A test before removal can save money: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
