How artex removal works in Hipley
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical materials include stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by leaks and landlord refurbishments.
In towns and villages like Hipley, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

FAQs for Hipley
Do you cover small places like Hipley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Portchester station?
Yes. Portchester station is about 3.6 miles south of Hipley, and we cover both.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
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, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What it might be made of
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
How it works
We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
