Artex removal for Hunt's Green
About our artex removal in Hunt's Green
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include walls before tiling and flaking textured ceilings, including coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Hunt's Green have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Choosing the right option
You’ll find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Reports and results you can share
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Looking after things afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Each different coating needs testing
- File the test result and waste note
- Book your plasterer after removal
Avoid these
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Test before the builders arrive.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before booking:
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings

Questions from Hunt's Green
Do textured ceilings in Hunt's Green homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Duty holders and landlords in Hunt's Green
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
