About our artex removal in Hurlingham
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. From structural work through coated ceilings and loft conversions and extensions, we deal with coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
In flats and houses around Hurlingham, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

What we deal with in Hurlingham
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings scraped during DIY
If you are refurbishing flats near Imperial Wharf station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
FAQs for Hurlingham
Do you work in Hurlingham despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do older homes in Hurlingham have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
How much does Artex removal cost in Hurlingham?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you cover Hurlingham?
We do: Hurlingham is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

Helpful guides
What it costs
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access to the area
- The size of the job
- Travel and parking
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- Street parking nearby
- A picture of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Cracks or breaks
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 to get started.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in Hurlingham

Your options compared
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
