Artex removal in Hunton
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, which is why testing first matters in Hunton. From rented homes refurbished between tenants and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we cover Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses and more.
In a village like Hunton, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What affects the price in Hunton
These are the main things that affect the price of Artex removal:
- How many samples are needed
- Access to the area
- Travel and parking

Common questions in Hunton
Is asbestos common in Hunton homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Hunton and the area around Micheldever station?
Yes, we cover Hunton and the area towards Micheldever station, about 2.9 miles north-east.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll explain the options.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Typical Artex jobs in Hunton
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings damaged by leaks
If your home is one of the older properties in Hunton, near Church of St James or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
