Artex removal in Hinxhill
Artex removal for Hinxhill 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. Whether it’s ceilings before downlights go in and structural work through coated ceilings, we cover Artex ceilings, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
In a village like Hinxhill, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Questions from Hinxhill
Do you come out to small villages like Hinxhill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Hinxhill contain asbestos?
Any home in Hinxhill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Hinxhill?
We do: Hinxhill is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Looking after things afterwards
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
Going forward:
- Photos help us quote
- Each different coating needs testing
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Empty the rooms in advance
Avoid these
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
