Artex removal for Hinton Ampner properties
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. From walls before tiling and extensions that cut into ceilings, we cover coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns and more.
In places like Hinton Ampner, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Your questions about Artex removal in Hinton Ampner
Is asbestos common in Hinton Ampner homes?
If your home in Hinton Ampner was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Hinton Ampner home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Generally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
How much does Artex removal cost in Hinton Ampner?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Afterwards
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos help us quote
- Test every different coating
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
What to avoid
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- We need the room cleared
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Common materials
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
Duty holders and landlords in Hinton Ampner
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
