About our artex removal in Hornton
If your renovation in Hornton involves textured ceilings, test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are ceilings before downlights go in and walls before tiling.
Village homes like those in Hornton have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Don’ts
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Choosing the right option
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Responsibilities for owners

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

FAQs for Hornton
Is the Artex in my Hornton home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you come out to small villages like Hornton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
