Artex removal in Hook Green
Artex removal near Hook Green
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are textured walls before a refit and structural work through coated ceilings.
In a village like Hook Green, 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.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How many samples are needed
- Travel and parking
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- Labels, if any
- An idea of size
- Where we could park
- A clear close-up
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Common questions in Hook Green
Is the Artex in my Hook Green home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work near Longfield station?
Yes. Longfield station is about 1.2 miles south-west of Hook Green, and we cover both.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
