About our artex removal in Hunny Hill
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. We often deal with swirl patterns, textured walls and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are rented homes refurbished between tenants and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed.
In Hunny Hill, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Hunny Hill
Most problems come during renovation: sanding, dry scraping or drilling releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings before plastering
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings before downlights go in
For a school such as Hunnyhill Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Your questions about Artex removal in Hunny Hill
Is the Artex in my Hunny Hill home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
Could my house in Hunny Hill contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hunny Hill may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What happens next
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep pets away
- Give us room sizes
- Test every different coating
Don’ts
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
