Artex removal in Hungerford
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. Whether it’s landlord refurbishments and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we deal with swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Hungerford have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Hungerford questions
Do textured ceilings in Hungerford homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do older homes in Hungerford have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hungerford can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How much does Artex removal cost in Hungerford?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
